      Pros

      Some of the most passionate people I've met working at the top of their game, this causes you to grow quite fast in areas you're weak at.

      Cons

      The legacy tech debt is absurd for the stature of such a company; it's making attempts to improve this, however, they are trying to do too much too fast and end up doing everything below the bar. Some major Senior hires and advisors have come and gone or are on their way out.

      Pros

      Smart Talent pool Learn a lot about yourself

      Cons

      You need a thick skin - the "radical transparency" and truth can verge on being abusive Everything is done by committee so takes an inordinate amount of time which gets quite frustrating Smart unscrupulous people game the system

      Pros

      Interesting work. Smart people. Generally good benefits. Generally good culture. Good location if you like Connecticut. Lots of integrity and lots of transparency.

      Cons

      High security. Lots of compartmentalization. Benefits could be better. Not convenient for people in Manhattan. Not much flexibility. Large share of the firm not focused on markets.
