Pros

Work life balance is reasonable. The office is a good place to work. Considering work life balance, comp is ok. Honestly I’d give it 3 stars if it wasn’t for the endless fake reviews from HR.,

Cons

Morale has hit an all time low, management are unable or unwilling to do anything about it. No upwards career development unless you’re American.

Pros

- Free food, drinks, etc - A lot of company social events - Generally most people are nice and the quants are really smart - Excellent WLB ( even compared to rest and vest tech places like Salesforce, Adobe, Google etc.) - Hybrid office culture, which isn't typical at most quant funds. This however may change

Cons

- Unless your a quant the comp doesn't compare to the tier 1 or even some tier 2 funds - IaC implementation is pretty bad, process in deploying applications is also bad but may get better - Lot of internal politics between teams. Don't want to stereotype but I see this more and more as joiners are coming over from big banks and bringing that "banking engineering culture" over - Very 2000's-ish top down engineering culture with enterprise architects calling all the shots for design decisions vs a committee of principal engineers at big tech. - A LOT of middle managers. As other reviews have noted some managers have like 3 direct reports and I have seen some M2 managers who have just one M1 manager who again have like 3-4 direct reports....

Pros

It's a company that uses IT to gain and advantage, and you'll work with some of the most talented and interesting technology available. The people they hire truly are the best of the best, as you can tell from the interview process. Having the place on your CV will get you noticed

Cons

Some of the management have been there a long time, and have become entrenched. They know what works, and even good ideas are dismissed if they haven't come from established people
