Pros

There are some fantastic free snacks, very cool artwork in both the Connecticut and New York Offices, and the managers are helpful and productive, they don't take any crap.

Cons

I am a high school student who is just interning for three days but from what I have seen, many of the academy students have visible idiosyncrasies because their intelligence is so developed. The bulk of the finance guys are kind of weird to say the least, but it doesn't bother me too much unless I have to talk to them.

Pros

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

Cons

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
