Pros
- Team structures vary by pod, which can make experiences differ. There’s often flexibility in choosing the right tech for the job. - Core and infra teams are knowledgeable and supportive. - Some roles are fully remote. - The firm appears to be growing from a headcount perspective. - Tech support staff were excellent — very responsive and made onboarding smooth
Cons
Communication and feedback processes can be inconsistent across teams. - Some managers provide minimal guidance or regular check-ins, leading to unclear expectations. - HR and communication practices during transitions or role changes can feel impersonal. - Office environment in NYC is somewhat sterile and lacks warmth. - Mentorship opportunities appear limited. - ZERO 401(k) match. - Benefits and perks (cell phone, gym reimbursement, etc.) are below industry standards. - Expense reimbursements can be slow. - Pay is lower than comparable funds, though flexible work arrangements offset this somewhat. - There seems to be noticeable turnover. - NYC facilities could use modernization.
