Pros

Any positive aspects of the firm are dwarfed by the unbelievably poor management of the firm

Cons

The list goes on and on. CEO and his henchmen have built a joke of a platform. They just don't get it but they have a small retail pipleline which keeps the lights on. I have spent some time at some second and third tier firms, but this place takes the cake. Unethical leaders with pipe dreams of playing with the big boys. This firm is to be avoided at ALL costs.

Pros

I am trying to find another job, the negative reviews do not help. Hopefully the headline rating will improve and no one will read the poor underlying reviews.

Cons

I have nothing negative to share that the other reviews have not covered, extensively.

Pros

Exposure to high level financial products. Collaborative work environment that is ultimately rewarded when work product is good. Casual work environment, but professionalism is expected. Great firm with upward mobility potential. Former employees that write defamatory reviews are not indicative of the firm and/or culture. Knowing who the employees are (not hard to figure out considering it is such a small firm and the terminations were in close proximity to the reviews) it is not surprising that they took to an anonymous forum to voice their discontent. The fact of the matter is, after given ample time and opportunity to prove their worth they were unable and found wanting. The aforementioned employees, though presenting well in interviews, subsequently had a cursory understanding of the finance world, let alone a niche area such as Secondary PE. These two (un)professionals are unlikely to give a good read on the state of offerings from the firm, as they had 0 active clients and showed little to no ability to attain certain benchmarks.

Cons

Because it is such a small firm, vacation days are few and far between.
