You will EARN every penny. Toxic place to work.

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They compensate you pretty well, but compared to other funds, especially in terms of bonus.

Cons

Really toxic environment that is perpetuated there. Everyone is afraid of being fired and can be with little to no reason (hence the lawsuits). Lots of high expectations with almost no direction provided. Sink or swim type of environment. Long hours needed to keep up with the workload.

Extremely political and nasty

Business Outlook

Pros

Commute was the only positive. It was a decent place to work before 2016, and things went downhill fast after that.

Cons

Unpleasant politics. Honest good work is not appreciated. Many people keen to steal the limelight without contributing to the work. Technology has smart people, but the egos get in the way of producing a viable smart solution.
