OA (2 hours on HackerRank, 2 LC mediums). Passed all test cases but was rejected. Maybe they have internal tests they run too. Questions weren't too bad, practice mediums on LC and you'll be fine.

Pros: - Good profit growth
- Interesting projects if you are on the right team.
- Ability to invest into the fund if you are a quant
- Large bonuses if you are a quant
Cons: The below concerns the tech side only!
- A lot of people seem to do nothing; inefficient communication between teams; teams split in a siloed way and isolated from quants.
- Really bad bonuses regardless of the performance. Even big banks pay more.
- Tech workers have the same restrictions as quants on personal trading, and resignation notice but no way to invest into the fund and no garden leave.
- In many cases there is micromanagement which gets in the way.
