Pros

Great place to work with many smart people. Good leadership. Upper management invests heavily in individuals.

Cons

The company is too nice. Some engineers are seriously incompetent. Not even just technically incompetent but also lack common sense and basically producing nothing useful.

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.

Pros

People are relatively smart, but the place is filled politics.

Cons

Going through the pain of a mid-size company. So much politics in the engineering org. The company reminds you constantly that Software Engineers are second class citizens.
