      Good environment to work with

      Data analyst/quant researcher
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of mobility Friendly environment and decent management Generous pay structure for researchers / PMs Flat hierarchy (few intermediate managers)

      Cons

      Poor planning leads to mediocre job stability: company hires lots of people, than suddenly lays them off. I said mediocre rather than poor, as they tend not to fire people when they are not in cost-cutting mode, except of case of clear failure.

      Is that it?

      Quantitative researcher
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Better than average salary in developing countries. - No advanced math or knowledge of data science or anything that assumes more than a highschool diploma is required to work here.

      Cons

      - No training is offered. - Management is inexperienced - Competitiveness: you basically compete against everyone from day one, so knowledge doesn't get passed around freely. - You have to produce results at a pace that prevents quality research or any form of self learning. - Long hours In summary: if you expect to do more than testing one liner formulas for 10 hours a day, while listening to abusive comments from your supervisor about why you dont work 12 hours a day, this is the right job for you

      Fair chance for quants, IT sucks

      Portfolio manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
