      Pros

      1. HR and support team are friendly and responsive. 2. Good initial learning experience for those new to quantitative investment management. 3. Plenty of effort is put into teaching research consultants some broad-level techniques. 4. Good pay for the amount of work required. Basically a great role for college students looking to get into something like quantitative investment management.

      Cons

      The only con I came across during my short tenure is that all alphas/trading strategies, and all research involved therein, becomes the intellectual property of the company. Consultants retain none of the IP.

      Pros

      Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

      Cons

      The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
