Pros

Compensation is excellent and rewarded on objective criteria. Learning opportunity from experienced investors is exceptional

Cons

Work life balance is not priority - expect to work hard to get compensated - not really out of line with what is expected at other shops though.

Pros

Compensation linked to your performance number and rules are very clear Flat structure with less politics Freedom to explore / try new things Large organization and Great support from other teams, e.g. IT, data, business etc

Cons

Compliance team is very very strict and sometimes discourage you to go for more innovative ideas Multi-manager platform + demanding performance requirement, so a lot of pressure if you lose money

Pros

- Working alongside top talent in machine learning, statistics, finance, and CS - Exposure to cutting-edge ideas from brokers, vendors, and academia such as private seminars by famous professors - Balanced culture that is conducive both to meaningful social interaction and to solid high quality work - Emphasis on personal growth and tasks that make an impact from first day of work - Competitive pay structure and benefits

Cons

- Could be a pro/con depending on the person: Office is right by Grand Central, so commuting above ground can get very hectic during rush hour.
