Sucks

Quantitative researcher

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None that I can think of. This place is plain hell.

Cons

There are so much racism and finance-bro-esque bullying at play that makes it so hard to work at. Unless you are white or Indian, don't go to this place.

To me, super interesting work matching my skills

Quantitative researcher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

(1) As a quant researcher, super exciting work. See the impact of your own models to bring revenue to the company, see you can predict the future by using advanced quant techniques; (2) Great work-life balance, the company understand that great idea takes time to become effective and it understands that letting researchers have their own schedules and pace is good in the long run; (3) Excellent pay with no doubt.

Cons

In my view, the company hires way many engineers than needed sometimes. I need to maintain the bar to be high and hire just enough and really excellent engineers, and of course treat them well. Too many so-so hires hurts the company reputation and the business.

A highly enjoyable blur each workweek

Business Outlook

Pros

Good vision from management. Engineering focused on quick experimentation to prove feasibility followed by judicious hardening and iteration. Excellent co-workers. Absurd perks.

Cons

Management has good expectations of what can be achieved in a reasonable workweek, holds employees to what is reasonable, but talks expectations as if much more is possible. Inbox zero adherents may be disappointed.
