Pros

Professional work environment, competitive atmosphere, well respected in the investment community. Great opportunity wo work with like minded people and build relationships with institutional clients. Great comp package.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement are somewhat limited due to employees with significant tenure having a stronghold on legacy clientele. Not a lot of negatives here really except that in volatile market times, there is a lot of pressure to perform.

Pros

It's nearly impossible to get fired. After many years, the IT department has hired a diverse team. Coworkers were intelligent and ethical.

Cons

Unusual that, until after Covid, the IT department was about 95% Caucasian, but now the diversity seems to be due to the ability to lower salaries, and worsen work/life balance. Management will only promote yes-people, or hire from the outside. It's akin to working in IT in 1990s, there is little process or structure. Laptops weren't given to IT until after Covid (yes you read that right), and when they were handed out, they were the used laptops from revenue generating departments that had been upgraded. It was a very chaotic environment.
