Not a good fit - Anonymous employee 6800 Capital Employee Review

This month marks my 12th year with 6800 Capital, LLC. It is a great place to work if you are interested in getting your foot in the door of the alternative investment and hedge fund world. During my tenure, I’ve been afforded the chance to learn and work very closely with senior management and industry veterans; something that does not necessarily happen often in a larger scale company where employees are just a number. The company is continually evolving and exploring new business ventures, which offers diversification, stability, and opportunity for corporate and employee growth. Additionally, the relatively small size of the company allows for crossover among different departments and gives you exposure to areas outside of your sphere. The compensation and benefits are good and, in conjunction with a flexible work situation, made the firm a very attractive place for me to launch and continue my career.

The firm has a flat organizational structure, but there is a tremendous amount of opportunity for professional advancement if you have the desire and work ethic to further your skillset. If you're looking to "climb a corporate ladder", you may be better off at one of the larger institutions.

The only benefit is it's a 9-5 job.

One big clue - most of the employees of this company have never worked anywhere else (including members of the management team). Coming from a large organization, I was shocked to find that the company exists without employee handbooks or guidance. None of the employees want to be there and it is a very negative environment. This company does not prepare you for a future role in any other company. It is a flat organization, however, that just means that there is no room for growth or promotions or raises. This place is a joke.
