Pros

Superlative intellectual company. Opportunity to learn a lot about both investing and general business/life management skills. You'll be pushed harder intellectually than you will almost anywhere else.

Cons

Long hours. The guiding philosophy of the firm is one that not everyone will agree with or tolerate, and it's present in almost every aspect of the day to day work. In other words, you have to be a solid culture fit to make it. If you're not excited by the idea of testing yourself in the culture they describe, it's probably not for you.

Too caught up with the way every single thing works - even how emails should be written
