Pros

-Good people and fun colleagues in many sectors of the company -Great experience in the alternative assets space; hard work is often rewarded with quick promotions when warranted -Unlimited PTO and decent benefits.

Cons

-High levels of management and executive turnover, including four Chief Operating Officers in four years. Goals, priorities, and org charts shift with each new leadership change. -Gradual decay of work-life balance as the push to move towards a global company has increasingly resulted in meetings scheduled at unhealthy hours. Monthly mental health days off instituted during covid era have been eliminated despite being promoted as a benefit on our hiring page. -Constant reshuffle in customer-facing roles has led to justifiably unhappy legacy client base. -Company goals are driven by unrealistic and unsustainable sales targets. Products are rushed out quickly at the expensive of quality, resulting in a permanent "fire-drill" mode for product and engineering teams as they work to appease angry clients, while sales teams gets praise for pushing unsustainable products to market. -Profound levels of burnout among tenured contributors due to the above has led to high attrition and loss of subject matter expertise. Leadership brushes it off as an effect of the "Great Resignation" without addressing the underlying causes. -Human Resources is extremely error-prone and unaccountable for their mistakes -- stories abound of payroll errors, silent changes to holiday calendars, miscalculated benefits.

There are real opportunities to make an impact, especially for those who are proactive and comfortable in a growing, evolving environment. What stands out most is the genuine commitment to innovation, collaboration and investing in talent and supporting employees at every level.

This is a company where your contributions are noticed and your growth is taken seriously.

Cons

Like many companies that are growing and evolving, there are still opportunities to make processes more consistent and scalable across teams. The pace of change can be fast, which creates opportunity, but it also requires flexibility and comfort with ambiguity.

Pros

I really appreciate the ability to work remotely, as it provides flexibility and supports a healthy work-life balance. The company has also offered a flexible and generous approach to time off, which has been a valuable benefit. One of the things I value most is the trust my leaders place in my judgment when making decisions that help grow and improve our department. Leadership is supportive, approachable, and genuinely interested in providing the tools, training, and resources needed for career growth and continued education within the industry. I also appreciate that leaders are readily available to employees across the company. They are open, transparent, and willing to listen, which helps create a positive and collaborative work environment.

Cons

There are frequent changes and a high volume of information to absorb, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. At times, this can create uncertainty, especially when priorities or processes shift quickly. Overall, better pacing or clearer communication around changes could help employees feel more confident and prepared.
