Pros

If you are someone who takes seriously the notion of being great at what you do, there is no better place than this to bring out your A game. The work is compelling, the colleagues are wicked smart, and the psychic rewards of success are even better than the monetary ones (which is pretty good, too).

Cons

Once you get past the fruits and vegetables, the snacks are inedible. It's ok to have a real cookie every now and then.

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
