“I think the firm has done a really good job of ensuring that the entrepreneurial, progressive culture stays in place. Ares very much strives to be ahead of the curve, and thinks of what the next opportunity is. You are able to have your voice heard by senior members of the team who will take that on board, give you advice, and provide any support that may be required.”

"What I appreciate most about Ares is that, if you perform well, you have the opportunity to take on new challenges and stretch yourself into new disciplines. I have worked in several departments at the firm and enjoy seeing how different ways of thinking and lateral insights from other disciplines can improve decision-making. Collaboration at Ares is about embracing change and driving impact with a team-minded approach, versus looking to one area for a solution."
