The interview process was quite lengthy, but the people I met were remarkably humble and intelligent. I had the opportunity to speak with every member of the team. The individuals here appear genuinely pleasant, which stands out compared to many other buyside firms. There's also a noticeable emphasis on company culture and community, which is quite refreshing.
