Pros
  • Very smart colleagues.

  • Good benefits such as a fully-stocked kitchen, paid lunch restaurant order, 20 vacation days.

Cons
  • 1 day/week WFH policy even during the pandemic, despite the government asking those who can work from home to do so.

  • There seems to be little opportunity for internal team movement.

  • Smart people can be stuck working on menial tasks for investment.

  • For the tech employees, the investment side is like a black box. Little communication or insight into what investment is working on. Despite this, we still have restrictions on trading.

  • Total compensation isn't that competitive when you compare with big tech companies or other hedge funds.
