Pros

It is good for well established PMs who can consistently make $, as they can take contracted PnL cut. They can also size up quickly if their strategies delivered proving track record

Cons

For junior or mid-level researchers in most of the PM teams,it is not only challenging to survive, but also very hard to learn things, unless you are a self-taught genius.

Just joined recently. A ton of resources at the firm, its been good so far

I came from a competitor firm. Not actually a con to me but I noticed worse employee perks e.g. no dinner provided on Uber etc

Pros

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Cons

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.
