good location, new york city

Minpunten

HR team is very busy writing rave reviews about Cubist and Point72, one search on the web tells the truth about the culture of this firm, this is toxic firm with a big blot on its name, as a current employee below are some of my observations: 1. The senior management promises a lot, but nothing is delivered, in the end only yes men get promoted to director, managing director title for doing nothing smart. 2. The verbal language used by the top management is at best arrogant, condescending and frankly against every HR policy in the handbook. 3 The pay is sub-par, also the work you are given is outdated with nontransferable skills for your next gig, so, all in all, you will simply waste your time here with no monetary benefit or knowledge being gained. Changing name of the firm every few years is not going to help and neither is bringing in consulting firms to do surveys, we all know this is simply an effort to restore the image and nothing more. There are several hedge funds out there with better culture technology stack and smarter people out there, better working for them then a blotted name that is always in the news for the wrong reasons.

Pluspunten

Long term vision and collaborative environment compared to other firms in the hedge fund industry.

Minpunten

Due to the pods culture, the requirement for independent research is not for everyone and could be especially demanding for people with less experience.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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
