Pros

- Smart people - Great benefits all paid for 100% by company - Free food - Brand name raises eyebrows - Strong culture (of course, this is entirely personal), lots of feedback and people really care about achieving good outcomes

Cons

- Extremely vague non-compete agreement mandatory for investment positions - Relatively small company with way too many middle management layers - Very few people actually doing interesting investing work other than for a small core group who has been there for decades - Performance has been poor for the past 10 years, hard no to have a bleak outlook for the long term
