Pros

Unlimitef FTOs. Though manager approval needed and hard to get.

Cons

Pay below average for financial companies in NYC. Lay offs every here in all departments. The CEO and COO are behaving like monarchs and making decisions on everything without getting concensus of the employees. 4 days a week work from office from September 2023.

Pros

Under market pay for the top asset manager. C suite cares a lot about clients. Low returns in bear market require same workload as bull. Learn to make the rich richer. They scream ESG and diversity but if you research public info on their investments they are probably doing more harm than good. The world will burn, and the minorities will suffer due to Larry

Cons

Great culture, some good perks. A happy hour every now and then to make you feel better for shoveling coal into the well oiled finance goliath.
