- 5.0Great company! Hard to get in, but well worth itVice President - Software Engineering • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJuly 14, 2016Pros: This is a place that really cares about doing right by its employees. The perks are great, and senior management is focused on the right things. There is definitely a culture of learning and a strong willingness by management to support experimentation and exploration. It feels rather unique for a finance firm.Cons: Very time-consuming hiring process (on both the side of interviewers and interviewees). Not convinced it's as effective as it could be given the time investment.
