Pros

I worked at Harding Loevner for about half a year, and left after I discovered it wasn't a good personal fit, however I think if you click with the culture, it's a great place. Free breakfasts on Mondays, a gym on site, and a fairly lax dress code make for a very balanced environment. I was able to grow out a beard and no one batted an eye, to give you a sense of the informal atmosphere. It is a small firm and so you get to know everyone quite quickly. Pros include great exposure to the portfolio managers, very smart people, and great hours. They pay for your CFA exam which is also a perk.

Cons

You need a long term commitment to the firm, and your role may be different than what you envisioned. There is a large emphasis on earning your way to more relevant duties, however this could be said of many places.

Pros

- Additional compensation - Access to senior management

Cons

- Managers are seemingly never disciplined for mistakes they make, which is certainly not the case with junior employees - Little to no opportunity to move up past a Senior Associate on the Client Management Team - The family-like culture that the firm advertises exists...but not outside of the Investment Team. Particularly in Client Management, it is show up, work through your lunch, and get as much work done in near silence as possible before the end of the day
