I've had the opportunity to expand my responsibilities and take on projects that I never could have imagined before working here - Company culture that continues to evolve to support employees. There are constantly new initiatives to create more connectivity among employees. Lots of opportunities to volunteer/give back. - People here are generally very nice, smart, and have a wide variety of interests - Great benefits, top pay - Beautiful offices around the globe

Cons

Pros

You will gain a lot of experience in a fast paced environment. Health insurance is covered by the firm. You will learn (if you are thick skinned) how to handle challenging personalities

Cons

Office politics completely run the show. Unfortunately your performance is evaluated more on face time and who you know rather than actual performance and results. From the very top down ego, unprofessionalism, and prejudgice are apparent. I have seen more than one *higher up* physically throw things across a room. More and more people have left/are leaving after spending many years there, while newer hires aren't sticking around longer than a year or two. Make a mistake? You will have someone actually scream at you in an open seating location rather than a private discussion. Do great work for several years? You'll receive a minimal raise (if any) and watch them hire a junior colleague at a higher salary than your current. Aside from the dysfunctional leadership, basic processes are falling apart and becoming less main streamed. Zero communication between teams. Cutthroat within your own team. Point72 has become chaos.
