Pros

Compensation linked to your performance number and rules are very clear Flat structure with less politics Freedom to explore / try new things Large organization and Great support from other teams, e.g. IT, data, business etc

Cons

Compliance team is very very strict and sometimes discourage you to go for more innovative ideas Multi-manager platform + demanding performance requirement, so a lot of pressure if you lose money

Pros

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Cons

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.
