Business Outlook

Pros

Highly professional environment, extremely focused, but decent work-life balance at the same time. Great compensation and benefits (as in, full comp health, dental, and life for you and your dependents at no charge to you). Flexibility, autonomy, and trust from day 1. Would recommend to anyone with a few caveats.

Cons

If you're coming from the outside, you may be surprised at how buttoned-up it seems. If you're coming from finance, this will not be a shock. Also, it is typical of a hedge fund in that it is about as diverse as a city in Iceland.

Pros

Challenging and great environment to grow the skills and no complacency whatsoever. What you put in is what you get out.

Cons

If one don't know clearly why and what on the engagements, one may not enjoy as much depending on which area one is working on. I had this problem myself in the beginning but now it is much clear.

Amazing Company to Work For

Business Outlook

Pros

The company really has an amazing family feel to it, and they are going above and beyond to help launch and develop careers over the long term. Having worked within a bank for over 10 years in a similar capacity, and spoken to many friends at other similar types of Hedge Funds/Family Offices, I really feel like this is an awesome place to work. Great benefits, perks and dedication to the development of their employees. On top of that, I have been pleasantly surprised with the work life balance and the emphasis placed on that for employees.

Cons

Same cons as with any fund in this field, though muted relative others. PM duration here is longer than normal as a testament to that, so I'm happy to say that despite the career risks of the trading world, this feels safer than most for career stability.
