Pros

Whats not to like about being right next to the embarcadero bart stop and across from the ferry building? Amazing view from the 5th floor (pre covid).

Cons

Can't argue with the other reviews on here. This place has had a ton of good people leave in the past 2 years and more are looking to jump off the sinking ship. Management is incompetent, micro-managing and 100% focused on protecting their jobs. Distribution and marketing is clueless and bizarrely arrogant, despite having produced terrible results. The company has had nearly $11 billion of client redemptions in the past 4 years (public info, check morningstar.com), yet anyone who questions results or tries to change things for the better, is scapegoated and fired. Assets are the lowest they've been for the past 5 years. Moral is at an all time low. Culture is touted as being great...by the top guys, who want to give the impression everything is ok. Company needs a total overhaul.

Pros

Should have listened to the reviews

Cons

This place is a sinking ship. Firm AUM is down significantly and firm is totally unstable. I do not see how this place could ever be turned around. I do not think there is a single thought put into sales. Portfolio managers consistently underperform. The only feeling you get when in the office is that the firm is desperately hanging on. Sad place to be.
