Pros

- Incredible options for career progression and learning, with plenty of interesting challenges and areas to become an SME. - Internal mobility is common, lots of movement between teams that is seen as healthy and a way to retain institutional knowledge. - Good compensation progression, especially after 2-3 years and for high performance (can double salary) - Exciting long term prospects for the firm and decent equity ensures everyone is an owner. - Good post-Addepar exit opportunities into wealth management, product development, tech startups - Excellent management, teamwork, collaboration on Services (1/3 of company)

Cons

- Lack of 401(k) match but lots of money spent on meaningless perks like SnackMagic boxes, clothing, (taxable) $300 AirBnB gift cards. - Increasingly siloed teams, meaning client-facing teams must hack together fixes for product gaps and overselling, while product fixes are often reactive instead of proactive. This causes burnout. - HR plays lots of politics/games with compensation budgets, making it hard to set fair comp expectations as a manager. - Equity grants are all over the place, with some junior ICs having more equity than their managers who have been at the firm for 3-4 years.

Pros

Unlimited PTO that they encourage you to use

Cons

Vey cliquey and laden with politics. Lot of the promotions didn't make any sense and just seemed to be based on the VP's mood on any given day. Favoritism galore and to top it off.... the clients are so difficult to deal with. Unrealistic expectations and no support from management when they are out of line. You will be demonized if you call it out.
