Pros

Good work-life balance. Pretty flexible about working from home, or taking time-off. Office camaraderie is pretty good at most locations. Firm dips their toe into different areas of finance from Regulation, Factor Investing, Risk Management, etc. which may be good for someone who is just beginning their career.

Cons

Very unclear direction or strategy. Firm has a reputation for not being true to their word with clients. Culture of convenience rather than correctness. Product roadmap is unpredictable, and changes on a whim. Very top heavy. Upper management believes the company and employees operate in a certain way which is usually completely different than what really goes on day-to-day. People are not usually held accountable for errors or mistakes. Many team leaders avoid conflict so a lot gets shoved under the rug.
