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

Pays fair at year end

Cons

Depending on your team, you may end up with: - highly unqualified managers who have no idea what they are doing - retaliation from management for complaints - the typical finance jerks - hazing - finance catches that limit your career outcome Lots of people are leaving after bonus season every year. The company is struggling to hire talents. Minimal upward mobility now that the company is large. The 98% retention rate is a myth.
