Pros

Really smart people that have long legacies, but they are only there due to golden handcuffs

Cons

There is almost no positive morale on the investment management side as it relates to how the organization is run. The economics are not shared how they should be at a traditional asset management organization and thus I see the incoming rotational analysts on the equity side essentially proving to be a rotating door. Maybe the senior lateral hires on the high end PM side get better incentives but the company runs the asset mgmt division like an insurance company

Management is non-existent when dealing with personnel issues.

Pros

Some of your colleagues are nice, you will need them for support as it will take a toll on your health

Cons

Unfortunately I've been the victim of harassment and abuse, of which HR and management has been complicit for the past 10+ months. Despite everything being documented, the intervention by HR has only resulted in increased retaliation from the abuser, and has had major effects on my wellbeing and completely stunted any growth or development I may have had. What makes things even more insulting, they are rewarding him with additional responsibilities. Management does not care about you and will take advantage of you.
