Pros

Great benefits. Good and fair pay. Nice artwork. The office and bathrooms are cleaned almost hourly. I believe the air is filtered through 25 HEPA filters, and then once more through diamond dust before entering the trading floor area, as a breath of heavenly angel air.

Cons

Difficult personalities to deal with. No opportunity for advancement. The main focus is money (obviously) but took steps of cost-cutting way too far. Who wants to work for a hedge fund who's drastically cutting costs - costs that affect the livelihood of its employees in a material way, such as decreasing healthcare benefits and increasing prices in the cafeteria.

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.

Pros

Smart people always willing to help Great benefits/pay/lunch stipend etc. Collegiate environment, most analysts are in their mid- late-20's

Cons

Work can become repetitive - same coverage for multiple years at a time speaking to the same people Limited work life balance (but its a hedge fund so you should expect that going in) A lot of micromanagement/bureaucracy. Too many cooks in the kitchen overseeing work, can make the research process tedious
