Pros

The benefits at SAC were great, including health insurance, tuition reimbursement, and vacation days. Most of the coworkers were friendly, and SAC is a reputable hedge fund in the industry. While other hedge funds were losing money, SAC was one of the few that reported a profit in the quarter.

Cons

Many of the downsides I found at working at SAC was upper management. Your talents aren't truly recognized by management, therefore there isn't efficiency. Even though there was scope for advancing, management tries to keep you where you are for their own needs. Some management weren't right for the job - a sentiment that was shared by many.

Pros

A lot is expected of you, including regularly going above and beyond the job description. This gives ample opportunities to prove your worth to management. Plenty of very intelligent people around. Good amenities, nice place to be. Good support for well-conceived projects.

Cons

Sink or swim at all levels of the company. Formal opportunities for professional development are not terribly abundant, and don't seem to be a major concern of management. Penchant toward rigid, big-company mentality. Management has long memory for small imperfections-- really have to bring your game all the time.
