Business Outlook

Pros

In general, very bright team members who work hard. Nice facilities to work in. Sharp portfolio managers in a wide variety of strategies which keeps it interesting. Still a good place for people early in their careers.

Cons

Undergoing cultural changes with founders becoming less engaged and on top of the morale. Political maneuvering is gaining importance over performance and contribution at the senior manager levels.
