Pros: I work every day with smart people on a variety of interesting projects. Everyone is approachable and friendly, and the management is good. The combination of cutting-edge technologies and an entrepreneurial mindset makes the work interesting. The work can get intense at times, but that’s part of the nature of a hedge fund. The competitive salary is a bonus.

Cons: There is little to no smart working. There are not many extra perks.

Pros: The best management I have had so far, very nice coworkers, and a decent work life balance (by finance standards).

Cons: Comp is seriously lower than in a real top-tier places like Citadel etc.

Pros: Decent pay. It might be better in trading than in technology.

Cons: I'd better join the army
