Pros
A chance to work at one of the world's top hedge funds. Free lunches, fully-stocked snack bars and refrigerators with sodas. Can take advantage of the in-house training on courses ranging from SQL to market mechanics.
Cons
If you can't fit in with the company culture, you won't survive past 3 months. The turnover at the company is huge (30%+ in the first year), mostly because of culture incompatibility. The company advertises its culture as a true meritocracy, where anybody can call BS on anybody else, including their boss. It sounds good on paper, but what goes around comes around, and people can "drill down" on you; if you don't have a thick skin, you're a goner.
