Pros
-Nice office.
-That's about it. I think multi-strat hedge fund means, "mess of a trading firm".
-Good chef?
-Notice how none of these pros are related to the fund or work or management
Cons
-forced to churn positions sometimes at high fees that go to management.
-management are clearly just out to line their own pockets... they aren't star traders or insightful market guys. Just guys looking to make themselves a dollar
-no guidance or coherent strategy. No training.
-not much info sharing among the few who make good money. Lots of position gambling.
-the analysts there give good ideas, but then we can't really hold them for more than a day? It makes no sense. The analysts are probably there to give the illusion of a high quality firm.
-terrible platform. Not meant for any kind of trading. Crashes often.
-filled with ex traders from other firms
-I sincerely think it's one of those old-school churn shops that allow you to run your strategy but charge you insanely high fees to do so.
-racially and politically insensitive comments in the office.
-Management lies about backing the company entirely with their own funds. They probably have investors i.e. the incentives at the firm are perverse and the management are not star traders.
-The firm is essentially First New York but with higher fees and only the fired traders.
