Pros

I enjoyed getting to know my coworkers and left with many friends.

Cons

Overtime is mandatory and you have absolutely zero control over how many hours or when you will work them. Look forward to that every day of the week if that's what management decides that's what's necessary. They try to make up for the poor morale with free, unhealthy food. You're sitting for more than eight to ten hours in a cube, and taking unplanned bathroom breaks counts against your metrics. It's easy to get fat and miserable. This is such a disappointing, poorly managed work environment. Unless you really, truly want the financial services industry experience or paycheck, run.

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
