EVERYTHING .. from the moment you step inside the walls start to close in on you and everything smells like the Irish

Pros

- relaxed/easy-going corporate culture - generally a young crowd throughout - casual work attire, minor perks (refreshments, monthly breakfast and other appreciation initiatives) - relatively easy to move around and climb up the ladder - not much red tape - leading hedge fund administrator = exposure to wide variety of securities and investment strategies - offer roles where experience counts towards CFA

Cons

- long hours (I'm all for working hard and making sacrifices to get things done, but it has to be worth it at the end of the day) - working hard to prove yourself will probably not result in desired outcome, so keep expectations at a minimum - many people who have moved up are moreso based on necessity/longetivity than ability and it reflects in leadership - salary is sub par with a downward trend on increases year-to-year/after promotion - culture of "yes man" - bend over backwards to deliver on all client requests with unsatisfactory appreciation - not much emphasis given to retaining employees resulting in high-turnover, but that's just the nature of the industry - increasing workload, yet placing pressure on overtime hours and keeping costs down
