Pros

- CAIS colleagues are A++. There are some fantastic people that work here. - Remote capabilities cannot be beaten. It's awesome that we're empowered to work from wherever.

Cons

- Success and upward mobility at the firm entirely hinge on who is your manager manager. As many people have pointed out there's a strong culture of favoritism and bro-y camaraderie between those who have stuck around long enough. This is particularly true for the COO and his little clique. Unless you have a manager who is willing to proactively advocate for your advancement many really hard working and smart people stay stuck where they are.

Pros

I pretty much started my career at CAIS and as someone with little experience in alts prior, this was a fantastic place to quickly learn and grow. The firm is fast-paced and the people are very innovative. If you are good and work hard enough, you will receive unparalleled levels of exposure to all business lines that will “turn on” a more strategic way of thinking.

Cons

It is difficult work, but extremely rewarding. I would say certain personalities will absolutely thrive here, but others may not. Make sure you are a fit.
