Great company to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

The people you work with are definitely above average in terms of knowledge, skills, dedication to their work. I found that everyone was well-read, liked their job and overall was a well-rounded person that knew how to communicate with others, take the initiative. Everyone was really smart. The company still has a small company feel and it doesn't seem to be very bureaucratic. The people are friendly and they help you if you have questions. The HR department is also very friendly and they respond very well to any questions you may have. The company reputation seems to be great at the moment.

Cons

The hours can be very demanding, especially if you are in the portfolio analytics group.
