Pros
- A good percentage of smart people in the investment departments - Good compensation
Cons
- If you are an engineer or technologist working here will be negative value added to your learning process. Like taking a step into a parallel dimension where open source never existed and excel and badly designed home grown software are the solution to all problems. - Culture defines and rewards Not Invented Here syndrome - Focus on thinking about doing rather than doing is excruciatingly painful for anyone that has worked in a real engineering driven organization. - Most people do not have experience working elsewhere so do not know what 'good looks like'. - It takes incredible amounts of time to get the simplest administrative tasks done. - Highly restrictive and lengthy (2 yr) non compete will limit your ability to work elsewhere - No quality management or leadership to speak of; failed succession plan.
