Intense - Analyst Point72 Employee Review

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.

Smart people always willing to help Great benefits/pay/lunch stipend etc. Collegiate environment, most analysts are in their mid- late-20's

Work can become repetitive - same coverage for multiple years at a time speaking to the same people Limited work life balance (but its a hedge fund so you should expect that going in) A lot of micromanagement/bureaucracy. Too many cooks in the kitchen overseeing work, can make the research process tedious
