Pros

Some smart people, especially those from the older days Supportive of CFA / CAIA and will pay for you Great place if you have MBA

Cons

External hires and MBAs have minimal standards but the firm values them heavily They will be put up against juniors that rise up internally Managers are external hires too hence they do not see the problem Long working hours, get ready to say goodbye to your family and friends for the period you work here Work hours and learning do not commensurate with the pay given Minimal internal mobility / upward mobility cos emphasis will be placed on MBA hires (with no finance backgrounds)
