Pros
Rapidly growing firm with stellar leadership and market reputation. Motivated individuals are supported and provided stretch opportunities to grow and pitch ideas. Leadership is accessible and makes time for you. As with any large firm, there is internal politics but strong culture keeps it in check. Compensation and benefits tend to be above market. Overall, a great place to learn and grow.
Cons
Rapid growth and capital raising has translated into an imbalance, with the expectation to do a lot more with less. The pace of work and expectations could be demanding and not for everyone. Decision making tends to be slow due to emphasis on consensus building. Firm is trying to navigate it's identity transitioning from a nimble culture to operating like a large bank. Lack of productivity drivers and subpar technology investment. Underpowered laptops, slow connectivity and support, outdated or lack of collaboration and productivity software could be frustrating.
