Employee Reviews
“Everyone is responsible and mindful of work/life balance. We operate as a small team with many roles, so it can be difficult to fully disconnect at times.”
“Excellent culture that supports individuals, and everyone works toward shared goals. It is a serious environment that values results; this is a positive but may be an adjustment for some.”
“Great work/life balance. Very family-oriented. Flexible team culture. No micromanagement (or very little) if you are performing. Would prefer more work from home options, though.”
“Quality of work life balance is very good. Working in buyside research you don't have the tight deadlines of sell-side research teams. However, earnings season is still very busy.”
