Pros
- decent hours - no big fuss about taking days off (but this depends on the manager) - support for certifications such as CFA, CAIA, FRM, etc.
Cons
- lack of growth and development - incompetent management and general lack of care and respect for the employees - very high turnover - culture that values loyalty much more than merit leading to unfair promotion and compensation practices - secretive management (never really knew what was going on with the firm) - they hire over qualified analysts to carry out very mundane tasks (i.e. data scrubbing) - lack of effective communication between managers, employees, and other departments - no 360 review
