Pays well, not always interesting work
Pays well, not always interesting work
One of the highest paying jobs in software; raises every year; huge bonuses.
Growing name recognition - people say that Two Sigma is very tough to get into.
Lots of smart devs from companies like Google/Amazon.
Treats employees well in general; good benefits.
Flexible schedule; overtime is rare for most teams.
Tech stack is not bad for a hedge fund; usually gets updated regularly.
Tough to find another job that pays as well.
Devs are second-class to quants/modelers in a way.
A lot of uninteresting work to support the business. As a result, you don't get exposed to a lot of the big data/real-time technologies used in internet companies. The emphasis on home-grown software also makes this worse. There's a chance that you're making good money in exchange for lower future marketability.
Unstable management changes all the time.
