      Pros

      At WorldQuant, every day brings a new challenge. The work is fascinating. The atmosphere is intensely focused. The staff is top notch. Compensation is mostly performance based.

      Cons

      The pace is unrelenting. The pressure never lets up. WorldQuant employees live, eat, and breathe their work. There is no room for mediocrity.

      Pros

      You are working with smart people. Global working environment allow you to travel around the globe. They held multiple international conference every year, mostly held in EU to help with jetlag. You can relocate to anywhere any time to any of their office in the world, and they will to pay you money for it. Light workload with lot of downtime in a year if you are good at time managerment. Very competitive salaries.

      Cons

      Long interview process. It's a hedgefund full of gambler so the company politics always surround how much money we make or lost. If "we have a great year" you have great work life balance. If the company losing its gambling money, be prepare being micro managering everything. Back-stab, extortion, blackmailing are common in the office. HR and Middle managers are talented Politican just like you are talented as an engineer and they are really good at getting people into trouble.
