Pros

- good pay comparing to many companies - some people really like benefits but for me it’s not crucial. I guess it could be a plus - office location

Cons

- absolute chaos in working processes. I have an impression that company grew fast and no one knows what to do with this level of responsibility - no chance for promotion because of extremely flat structure. In most cases you cannot go above associate level, not even to be senior assoc. - strong pressure on visibility. You basically do anything so some colleagues will not assess you bad during year end review. Pressure on taking part in after work projects and doing something ad-hoc all the time just to impress someone - strong pressure on inventing ideas for automatization, it’s getting too annoying and overwhelming when you’re asked about new automatization ideas every single day

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.
