Just a couple of warnings for new employees

Pros

Smart, really smart people. Unfortunately, that's all here.

Cons

- Bonuses are inferior - bonuses are designed for poor asian countries like China or India and are the same all over the world (!!!). So when making decision on offer - assume no bonuses at all and decide whether stated salary is ok for you. - Smart people is not the only factor to make a successful team. Great people should be a team and collaborate to bring even greater results. But the system is designed in a way to stimulate rivalry rather than collaboration. This makes this place not very pleasant for people who want to learn and conduct serious research.

Pros

Flexible working hour and very smart coworkers

Cons

No input/corporation/feedback from any other people, no training/learning opportunity. People are smart but they compete with each other too hard. Avoid this place if you want to develop a long term career in finance by starting on research
