Pros

Most active investment managers don't consistently add value over passive. This one does. If you are in any kind of sales, marketing, or investment role, this is a place you can feel really good to represent.

Cons

This used to be a much better place to work. In certain parts of the organization it probably still is. If you're a minority or woman it's great. But the DEI effort and racial/gender hiring/promoting targets are in your face. They take them seriously and they hold people out of interviews for positions they are qualified for if they don't meet the target demographic profile. If you want to work somewhere purely merit-based this is not for you. Back in office 4 days per week.

Pros

The bonuses and CSRP of 15% as well as many benefits are unmatched. I enjoy many of my colleagues and have made life long friends.

Cons

It was a great place to work and many will continue to feel that way until they are affected like those of us in the Norfolk Virginia office. There is no loyalty from the company and people are replaced either by a “vision“ of technology that doesn’t yet even exist within the organization or by cheap labor “offshore“. I thought I would retire from here and now I find myself out of a job after over 20 years before the end of 2027.
