Pros: It is a good company to work for

Cons: The process can be quite stressful at times.

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.

Pros: The team has very knowledgeable developers. It is a well-organised team with documentation and progress tracking. There are good progression options.

Cons: Zero racial diversity and almost no women on the quant/dev side. Many unexpected layoffs, leading to many re-orgs and team shuffling. No work-life balance (although my manager was among the better ones about this). Poor compensation. Upper management mostly speaks French, and they often cannot express requirements in English.
