Pros: Good work/life balance, feeling not so much different from Google and its previous positions. An almost obsessively tech-driven approach to investment. Nice location at Soho (as compared to mid-town like some banks). Generous home-from-home policy. People often say bad things about hedge funds in general, but TS has a generally pretty friendly culture.

Cons: There is no food provided (albeit it has decent snack bars). People like work-from-home a lot, to the point it is a bit hard to feel I belong here as a new joiner. Tech debt is often overlooked in a way that would not be tolerated at Google. The in-house eng tools are sometimes not state-of-the-art. Some signs of red-taping are observed, which I believe is a bad sign for non-executive level employees.

Pros: Great benefits that do right by their employees. Good work-life balance, and I rarely ever received any messages outside of work hours.

Cons: - Incredibly corporate. - Very much a "keep your head down and don't ask questions" kind of place. If you question the ethics of the company at all, you will get shot down. - The entire job and EOY reviews are centered around ladder-climbing. - A very soul-sucking job. It revolves around always gunning for the next promotion, salary increase, and title. - Not much of a culture really other than "we're nice", which just really means they are corporate nice. There's so much politics and passive aggressiveness everywhere.

Pros: Great Place to Work.

Cons: Supportive Management, Great Place to Work.
