Pros

A great New York driven firm You are valued for your views and open thoughts Culture is brilliant

Cons

APAC region does not carry the companies vision and principles well at all. Too much senior level "dirty power politics" hampering the APAC region. Good people made victims of personal preferences of senior management in APAC region. You have to be in someone's good books to survive in the APAC region.

Pros

Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

Cons

Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
