Pros

Spent my career at a large bank and moved to the firm three years ago. Company was acquired by Brookfield not too long after I joined. I was worried about changes/firings but so far there has not been much change which is a relief. Healthcare insurance which is very affordable, both low monthly fees and deductible while providing great coverage. WFH policy has been very flexible during the pandemic. They are going to hybrid model of three days in September which is very reasonable. Even though their isn't much upward mobility career-wise or make more compensation I will continue to stay as long as they maintain this flexibility/balance.

Cons

CEO is requiring COVID-19 vaccine shots. Think it is wrong that they would push their political views on employees. No long-term incentive - previous job gave some stock and allowed you to buy more at a discount. From what I can gather they give "equity" to only certain employees but its not even really equity, they just defer salary into the fund. Doesn't make sense as you just get the fund's return and not a return on funds underlying economics. Pretty much this means the PMs will make tens of millions on a blockbuster year and you would just get a modest return. At times co-workers and bosses can be very political and cut-throat but you just need to learn to navigate this.

Pros

Smart people, interesting work, strong brand as a high integrity investor, good benefits and team activities, generous time off. Good people to work with every day.

Cons

Can be very siloed. CEO is working on team work, but not all want to play. I see progress being made.
