Pros

Free breakfast, lunch and dinner Some of the academics are really smart and great to be around Located right on train station

Cons

Pay is lower than comparable firms Turnover is very high, some teams hit 30-50% easily at analyst/associate level Its maturing from an exciting cool place (back in 2011ish) to a large scale asset manager and that transition has been rocky at best for less senior employees
