Pros

The people – surrounded by some of the smartest, accomplished, and most interesting people in the world, always pushing you to be a better version of yourself. A diverse group of independent thinkers, with a lot of mentorship and care delivered at all levels of the company. The culture – there’s a real emphasis on ensuring the best ideas win out. That gives more junior people the opportunity to shine more so than I’ve experienced elsewhere. Management and the tools that support it helps cut through a lot of the politics I’ve experienced elsewhere. Solving interesting problems – whether you’re an investment professional or not, there’s an emphasis on finding the right type of problem for everyone to solve.

Cons

Commute isn’t great – I live in Manhattan, so daily commute to Westport isn’t easy. Work flexibility programs are making it easier though. Can be tiring at times – it’s a demanding environment with extremely high standards. If you’re able to take feedback constructively that helps, but at times it’s easy letting my your ego or wanting to look good get in the way of seeing that clearly.
