Pros

-great people, the atmosphere is very welcoming, and (almost) everyone is willing to teach and help as there is quite a big learning curve -free drinks all day (and not just beer after 5 which i don't really drink) -perks -get to learn a lot about hedge funds and private equities (the administrative side) -comfortable work environment -probably the best hedge fund service provider out there, although it's relatively not so known since they don't publicly advertise their services -quite a bit of work at times, which is good as it makes the day go by fast

Cons

-tasks can be mundane -staring at a monitor for 8 hours a day -possibility of being stuck in back office for too long

Pros

Great for resume since CItco's name is known worldwide and is still #1 for Offshore FA Best place to pick up all things hedge fund accounting; the grass is not greener anywhere else Good benefits; used to have unlimited tuition subsidy Open bar parties

Cons

Poor top-down management style; your manager is always right. Mgmt is inconsistent in their reviews; no standards Mgmt does not understand fund acctg because they were hired externally, so don't have a clue about work load. No growth potential; no lateral movement Long hours; overtime starts after your first 50 hrs per Ontario HR standards Like any fund administrator, you will not get a real taste of hedge funds or alternative investments
