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.

Advice to Management

Make sure to pay attention to engineering happiness/satisfaction and comp trends among our competitors.

Retention should always be top of mind – the people who are already here are generally going to be more valuable than those you can attract later.
