Acadian seeks to foster a collegial, friendly work environment. With our focus on global financial markets and sophisticated quantitative models, the firm combines the intellectual rigor and perspective of a leading global financial organization with the relaxed atmosphere and creative mindset of a technology firm. The management hierarchy is relatively flat, with most employees working in cooperative teams. We have a strong record of promotion from within.
The culture is fast-paced, with great emphasis placed on self-motivation. Employees with good ideas for improving our client service, investment process or internal procedures will find broad leeway to pursue them. Many employees who begin working in one area of the firm have had the freedom to explore and in some cases move into positions in other groups. The goal is an open, supportive environment where employees can find personal career growth while striving for excellence in our service to clients.
Teamwork and communication are fostered through monthly lunch meetings and periodic social events throughout the year. There is an employee newsletter open to contributions from all employees, as well as a suggestion box program where employees may pose questions and suggestions to management on an ongoing basis.
Acadian prides itself on offering a highly attractive benefits package. It includes:
- Generous health insurance, including dental and vision care
- 20-day annual "leave bank" with further leave accrued by seniority
- Health club membership
- Life insurance
- Profit sharing and 401K plans
- Educational reimbursement
- Matching charitable gift program
Acadian is an equal-opportunity employer with a strong focus on fair workplace practices. We seek to create an atmosphere that is comfortable and enjoyable for all employees.
Acadian has offices in Boston, Singapore and the U.K. The Boston office employs approximately 130 full- and part-time people, the Singapore office employs seven and our new U.K. office is just starting up with one employee currently. Additionally, we have an affiliated office in Sydney, Australia (Acadian Asset Management [Australia] Limited) through our 50/50 joint venture with Colonial First State, which currently employs five people. We maintain a business casual dress code.
