Pros

Great perks, benefits, and big bonuses.

A friendly environment with amazing colleagues from other teams.

Cons
  • Not many smart people around you.
  • Amateur managers with little experience tend to lead towards stunted learning and career growth.
  • Not enough market impact for your job experience, as it's an exclusive "PRIVATE" hedge fund.
  • Frequent firings all year round; fear of job security looms over everybody's head.
Advice to Management

Try not to deal with technology and infrastructure like your colleagues on the trading floor. Incompetent managers with little or no SDLC in place mean you tend to lose ground on your very core values. The firm is young and tries to buy its way into the local market.

Try to be more vigilant and have the courage to make mistakes and grow out of them.
