Pros: - Free food, drinks, etc - A lot of company social events - Generally most people are nice and the quants are really smart - Excellent WLB ( even compared to rest and vest tech places like Salesforce, Adobe, Google etc.) - Hybrid office culture, which isn't typical at most quant funds. This however may change

Cons: - Unless you're a quant the comp doesn't compare to the tier 1 or even some tier 2 funds - IaC implementation is pretty bad, process in deploying applications is also bad but may get better - Lot of internal politics between teams. Don't want to stereotype but I see this more and more as joiners are coming over from big banks and bringing that "banking engineering culture" over - Very 2000's-ish top down engineering culture with enterprise architects calling all the shots for design decisions vs a committee of principal engineers at big tech. - A LOT of middle managers. As other reviews have noted some managers have like 3 direct reports and I have seen some M2 managers who have just one M1 manager who again have like 3-4 direct reports....

Pros: Fantastic culture and very tech focused.

Cons: The position is 100% on site with no remote work.

Pros: There is unprecedented room for growth in technical skills. The company has extremely clever people. It is rumored to be one of the biggest private-sector Kubernetes environments on the planet.

Cons: None that matter. Sometimes the freedom for each team to do what they want within reason can result in some overlap. A lot of the technical work is bespoke so it can be hard to hit the ground running, but GR are very much aware of this and do not ask too much too soon.
