      Pros

      Senior people are brilliant and great to work with and learn from. Many of the longer employed people understand the sense of team culture. Team-oriented environment is clearly recognizable

      Cons

      Poor communication between Senior Mgmt and the departments about company's direction. Buddy-system politics in some departments when it comes to promotions. Poor IT infrastructure -- too many hurdles to get things done quickly.

      If you enjoy being in an academic institution that has its roots deeply embedded in Chicago University fellowship

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      One of the few companies that will still give a lunch allowance in Mayfair, fairly attractive pay for new associates, academic approach to investing that is rooted in Nobel prize winning financial theory, investment performance is a non-issue given the nature of its investment philosophy.

      Cons

      Little prospect for growth for analysts and associates, poor management in place due to the homogenous backgrounds of senior management, very pro-chicago university oriented. Not particularly in culture, and very conservative. Dont expect to get what you see. Being a model-based fund, work is mostly operational. Legacy systems are archaic and inefficient. Still has a long way to go to develop its infrastucture.
