      Pros

      Pays above market on a national level. How much will depend on your negotiation skill. Don’t be shy to aim for the sky. Good benefits. Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (If you still late enough). Good snacks and drinks. Same hours as most HF firms, might seem a lot if you came from a Google or Amazon. Work with some really smart and motivated people. People here like to get things done.

      Cons

      Lack of communication among different teams. A lot of overlapping work. Potentially a lot of time can be wasted. No clear career paths for experienced hires. Experienced hires are grilled for their past knowledge and used to initiate new ideas. Once they feel like they got all the knowledge out of you they will throw you aside. Don’t give up all your great ideas at once or you’ll be useless. Still shares a lot of infra with Citadel LLC, which is a different company so they will not care about your issues if your on the Citadel Securities side. Managers vary extremely, depending on who is your manager, you might have a really bad or great time. Firm as a whole feels very disorganized, things are chaotic until things get real bad and someone finally steps in to fix and reorganize. Everyone only covers for themselves, people are scared to get fired so a lot of finger pointing will happen. A lot of people get fired near December good or bad, can be chaotic. A lot of responsibilities shift on very short notice during those times and it’s definitely not efficient.
