Vantaggi
Career Mobility - if you are a good performer, you will likely be able to explore career interests within the firm WLB - Can take theoretically unlimited time off, also Asset Management is pretty chill so a lot of people (esp. parents) logging 40-50 hours/week
Svantaggi
Career Growth - if you are smart and ambitious, don't come here. this is really a place to rest (not really vest though because you wont get paid in stock unless you are the top 0.5%) Pay - so underpaid. Really stingy within the firm, and you're not going to sniff the bonuses of other buy-side firms, even within Asset Management Culture - really on the downhill. Used to value intellectualism and meritocracy, now as they grow, its just a huge political game. Also see career growth - lots of uninspired people punching it in everyday Promotions are really slow - just a bloated corporation with a long waitlist of deserving people who are under-hired Flexibility - 4 days in the office, probably 5 coming up soon Senior Leadership - so much greenwashing, so much incompetency, and a lot of out of touch messaging. Literally there is propaganda of senior leaders blaring throughout the TVs inside the office every day, feels very dystopian
