Pluspunten

Nice office, colleagues, building view.

Minpunten

Almost no one in this company has ever made a strategy that is not a massive overfit so it's hard to learn true alpha making. You are judged by quantity and are required to make 30+ strategies per month. (Though making 30 is doable fast since they are all uncorrelated overfits after all). You get less then 3.01% of your strategy pnl as bonus. Which tends to be very low in first 3-4 years, since there are many researchers.

Pluspunten

Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

Minpunten

The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
