Pros

Ample opportunities; excellent career progression; senior management displayed effort to create a conducive working environment but there's still much room for improvement

Cons

Less than satisfied compensation; less than satisfied bonus, even if there's any; a mismatch between role and compensation i.e. the latter received does not commensurate the level of responsibility; less than satisfied employee benefits

Pros

- Good office location - Teaches you about hedge funds - Good first job to have

Cons

There is no effort to retain staff which has led to the firm promoting really bad quality employees who are more loyal than good. The good employees anyways seek to move out to a better firm. Training is very sub-standard. Non-corporate culture however the senior staff like to believe they are very important to the industry. Really this job needs no prior knowledge or training in finance or alternative investments.

Pros

Great for time off in personal life. Great for bonus. Pay was adequate.

Cons

Not informed of the "whole picture" as the project I was involved with. This was really sad in that I was a part of a team (so I thought), BUT it was a team of all men. I was called in the initial meeting that I attended by my boss as "the scribe" to take notes (since I was brought on as as a tech writer). This is a VERY male dominent company and a "good ol' boy atmosphere' is excruciatingly saddening. I was NEVER invited to lunch with the 'boys' even though my impact on the 'training' of the entire company relied upon me for their project. NEVER. Even though 1/2 the 'boys' invited to lunch were CONSULTANTS and not even employees such as myself. I was later laid off. What a shame; they could have made a lot of cash from my qualities!
