Good company, leader in Asset Management and Finance Industry. Very well established. Business leaders are very knowledgable, and experts in their areas.

No career growth and no leadership opportunities, if located in San Francisco. Actually career goes downhill.

Pros

Work can be very interesting, impactful, and everybody is (mostly) very kind and intelligent. They don't hire dumb people.

Cons

Truly insane there is no free food or drinks. Culture feels very stiff and sterile despite not being particularly formal. Hard to get a raise or promoted. If your business has a bad executive, your whole world suffers. Can be extremely relationship based in bad ways.
