Pros

Zero stress environment Very good work life balance 'Nice' people Work is interesting most of the time Job security - very little chance of being fired

Cons

Bureaucracy - you cannot do anything outside the box ever (there is a committee for everything - literally) Pay is below market (but you also work less + job security) People posture and talk a lot (the firm wants to be 'The Best Investment Company in the world' - lots of ambitious talking but reality is completely opposite Not a place to learn to become a good investor (people are very well education - e.g. Harvard MBA etc, but zero talent in investing). Under perform the benchmark for the last 20 years Everyone avoid taking any risk (the most conservative and boring place you can work in)

Business Outlook

Pros

Good vision, good talent (under bad management), market rate compensation

Cons

Incompetent Leadership: Constant, chaotic reorganizations driven by new senior leads looking for short-term wins rather than sustainable engineering. Tone-Deaf Management: Townhalls are heavily curated to ignore genuine feedback regarding burnout and management debt. The "Silent Layoff" Strategy: Mass PIPs and aggressive performance grading are being used to quietly trim headcount, destroying team morale. Inefficient Ecosystem: Paralyzing security and risk processes block execution at every turn, while engineering teams are expected to run at 200%+ capacity. Inefficient HR: A heavy layer of senior HR personnel who offer zero practical guidance, zero empathy, and zero worker protection.
