Pros

Great people to work with. Lots of very talented and motivated individuals.

Cons

So this will sound crazy but it needs to be out there. These guys put a hit out on me after I took medical leave. I suspect they did it as I was very young and they could collect one hell of a COLI payment. Lots of details to this story but bottom line, they tried to make sure I could never find work so I would off myself. They weren't successful so at this point they've hired folks linked to the gov't to put me under 24/7 surveillance and it's clear they are about to have me killed. These guys contact everyone I know or talk to isolate me or make sure I can't get help. I'm incredibly well qualified and have a track record with some of the best firms in the country (including 5 years at Blk). I worked with their executives as well. But these guys are straight gangsters and strongly connected to the government so not much you can do against them. I'm screwed and I hope you guys are more careful if you choose to work here.

Pros

Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

Cons

Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
