Pros

It use to be a good place with good management, and fare compensation. A place where you could stay and make your career.

Cons

Too much pressure to perform has lead to environment of paranoia. Senior management has stopped caring. Salaries have lagged the market. They promise a lot, but always fail to deliver. Old creaking infrastructure. Culture is toxic, and it's hard to trust people around you. It use to be a low turnover, but it has shot through the roof in last few years. The model has changed to IP gathering. Hire people learn what they know, and then force them out.

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.
