      Pros

      Ability to work with and learn from the best and brightest in the industry, good opportunities to advance and move around inside the company, challenging tasks and lucrative incentives to perform well. Employees are encouraged to experiment with projects outside their mandate, and are given full support and coaching by management.

      Cons

      Working remotely is frowned upon.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice office, colleagues, building view.

      Cons

      Almost no one in this company has ever made a strategy that is not a massive overfit so it's hard to learn true alpha making. You are judged by quantity and are required to make 30+ strategies per month. (Though making 30 is doable fast since they are all uncorrelated overfits after all). You get less then 3.01% of your strategy pnl as bonus. Which tends to be very low in first 3-4 years, since there are many researchers.
