Employees say:
"Combination of excellent people and leading investment products. Teams universally adopt the firm's ethos as thoughtful, patient value investors who think long term about their goals and objectives. Firm strives to provide a best-in-class workplace environment and total rewards package. Firm culture prizes humility, active listening and continuous improvement among all teams."
"Decisions are made very thoughtfully at First Eagle, though they are not dragged out or mired in red tape. Leadership sticks to our vision and doesn't get distracted by noise in the market. I appreciate that as an employee and feel that it allows us to stay focused on our job."
"Allows a sense of autonomy and freedom to work from home at times. My position is treated individually as opposed to one rule fits all."
