Business Outlook

Pros

The office is beautiful and the benefits are some of the best i've ever had. If you work hard you are rewarded well & the IT systems/support is second to none

Cons

Senior management... they're highly strung, condescending, rude and they will treat you like you're something they stepped in.

Consider pros and cons

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Efficiency in Task Management: The focus on churning out tickets from a backlog highlights an efficient approach to task management. Leadership Skills in Sales: The CTO demonstrates commendable abilities in sales, which is a valuable asset to the company. Staff: most ground level staff is helpful and professional

Cons

Work Culture: There's an intense focus on output, often at the expense of fostering a culture of innovation and open communication. Management Focus: There is a notable emphasis on technical skills in management roles, overshadowing the importance of soft skills and team development. This impacts the overall effectiveness of the management, especially for those promoted based on tenure or technical expertise alone. Hiring and Team Growth: Certain teams exhibit challenges in hiring diversely skilled individuals, focusing excessively on finding "rockstar" candidates, which leads to gaps in basic coding and delivery.

Great firm to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people who work hard and achieve good results. Good offices and location, and with renovation and expansion underway, they'll get better. Work/life balance is good, especially for a hedge fund. The leadership are hard working, professional and accessible - not aloof like the stereotypical hedge fund managers. The leadership also pushes the firm to do significant charitable work through the Absolute Return for Kids (ARK) charity.

Cons

This place is results driven; relationships don't carry much weight - that won't suit everyone. They have quite restrictive web access policies that block all manner of webmail, social media and other non-work related content. IT is not great for remote working.
