Pros

Office close to Grand Central, matching 401K, industry standard pay. Low performance expectations.

Cons

I worked in the quantitative business, Cubist Systematic Strategies, of Point72. There are several PM groups, and each group is different. I found my group too political for my comfort. Moreover there is a decent turnover in technology and support groups. Makes it difficult to work if you are working with one of these groups on a long term project.

Just joined recently. A ton of resources at the firm, its been good so far

I came from a competitor firm. Not actually a con to me but I noticed worse employee perks e.g. no dinner provided on Uber etc

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.
