Pros: The pay is competitive.

Cons: - Zero focus on career development or progression - Gerontocracy - senior tech management keeps churning "experienced" and unimaginative middle managers and senior developers while giving no one an opportunity to advance from below - Technology is subordinate to business/research, given menial programming tasks and anything business does not want to do, and treated as serfs to researchers/projects while tech management does nothing - Do not expect any exposure to business or financial concepts - they do not want you to ask questions - Zero communication or cohesion or discussion of organizational objectives, deep siloes and Darwinian project/people management culture - Senior business management is a bunch of quants with zero people skills that can't communicate with other human beings on a basic level, they don't care about employees or even about making money - they are rich already and this is just a game to them

Pros: - Good benefits - Free food - Great coworkers

Cons: Salary could be better, not much of a hedge fund premium

Pros: The benefits included competitive compensation, talented and hard-working colleagues, as well as highly efficient human resource management.

Cons: There was high pressure and long hours, along with an inflexible WFH policy.
