Pros
Good work atmosphere (usually) with smart and likeminded people. Good treatment of staff in the good years. These perks seem to disappear when the fund is underperforming. Free gym, breakfast and lunch. Good offices, well located in London - Green Park. Salary OK. Bonus Good
Cons
Very flat hierarchical structure makes promotions non-existent. Also a very strange power structure. The firm is New York based all key senior managemnent personnel are located in the NY office thus all decisions have to go through the US which has a huge restriction to autonomy. Top management are all very stuck in certain ways of working and as such the firm is very slow to adapt to changes Bacon and a few of the other senior management team have an almost god like/do not cross status. Again stifling a lot of good change that could happen at the firm.
