Pros

Work with very smart people. My direct PM was actually very good to work with but the overall environment was extremely cutthroat and unforgiving. The name carries a lot of respect within the industry.

Cons

High stress environment. Everyone is expecting to be on call all the time. Sundays are supposed to be spent writing weekly updates and catching up on research. Teams are essentially competing with each other so there is no collaboration. A lot of self-centered people. Compliance scare is making the company bureaucratic and difficult to work in.

Pros

Compensation linked to your performance number and rules are very clear Flat structure with less politics Freedom to explore / try new things Large organization and Great support from other teams, e.g. IT, data, business etc

Cons

Compliance team is very very strict and sometimes discourage you to go for more innovative ideas Multi-manager platform + demanding performance requirement, so a lot of pressure if you lose money
