      Fair chance for quants, IT sucks - Portfolio Manager WorldQuant Employee Review

      Pros

      Highly competitive but fair and transparent environment for researchers or PMs, realistic chance to achieve something big quickly if you’re truly smart and willing to work really hard. Geographically diversified, interesting to work with researchers from almost everywhere in the world.

      Cons

      Tech infrastructure feels like ancient toys yet the tech people are unbelievably arrogant, esp the data group run by a bunch of smug intranet developers who believe they know everything, most bizarre thing I ever saw.

      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.
