Pros: Amazing People - I can't underscore this enough; the people here truly are incredible: friendly, approachable, sincere, and hard-working. Great Work-Life Balance - As a parent, it's extremely important to me to be involved in my kids' lives. When I'm WFH, which is the majority of the time, I'm able to bring my kids to school in the morning and spend time with them after school and before dinner/bedtime, all without feeling like I'm neglecting my work. Excellent Benefits and Perks - Ample PTO, top-notch health insurance, great snacks in the office, and generous gifts at the holidays. The company really tries to take care of us. After a year-plus and onboarding during a pandemic, I can't get over how impressed I am by the company culture. They are extremely inclusive, cognizant of different backgrounds, and seemingly accepting of everyone. I'm super happy I chose to come to Two Sigma, and I'm looking forward to a long and productive career here.

Cons: On the days that I do go into the office (currently ~5 days per month), getting down to Canal St is kind of a pain. It is what it is, but it would be awesome if our offices were in a more commutable location for those coming in from outside Manhattan.

Pros: Smart people. No expectation to work long hours. Great office culture. Frequent presentations from academia. High exposure to upper management.

Cons: Slow development environment. Security can get in the way (a non-trivial amount of time spent finessing the corporate proxy).

Pros: Terrible management. Racial discrimination. Cannot think of anything good to say.

Cons: Terrible discrimination, bullying, and hazing.
