Pros

Decent pay, convinient office location if you live in the city.

Cons

Highly political. Useless incompetent management, out of touch with reality, completelly deranged. Grab for power games within middle management, with zero pnl contribution. The whole operation is designed to steal your models / ideas / IP, and then redistribute internally with the help of a cheif scientist, as is has been done to multiple researchers and portfolio managers.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
