Pros

The culture promotes transparency and finding what is true. Employees are encouraged to speak up and find their own path.

Cons

The implementation is lacking. The idea of trying to take the management principles on the investment management side and apply it to all facets of running the company is questionable. Given the high turnover and difficult environment it can be questioned whether this is working for the long haul.

Pros

Emphasis on firm culture which is based on being open and forthright with one another, smart/bright employees, great benefits, no surprises backstabbing etc., if you like the culture and like your day to day job no better place to be, above average pay

Cons

Not for everyone, read up on the company culture before you apply, long hours, systematic processes stifles innovation somewhat
