Pros

Competitive healthcare, 401k, etc. Work/life balance is important, and taking a two week vacation is acceptable. Working from home is normal if the circumstances allow. Great visibility with upper management (had beers with CEO within 1 month of joining). Interesting and exciting work I've worked in finance for a long time. Very few firms in the industry care about personal growth or advancement. This seems to be different across P72 in general. Internal advancement/transfers happen regularly. Having multiple roles here is the norm not the exception.

Cons

It can be frantic here. There's a lot going on and everyone is busy. Most give 110%; that's the expectation. This is fine for me, because that's who I am. But it may be overwhelming to some.

Pros

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Cons

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.
