Pros

Cubist has a quant-friendly and research oriented culture, and is virtually isolated from long/short business. The management, technology and data teams are supportive. It has solid infrastructure with global foot prints. The business overall is mature and stable. Turnover is ok, and many other major quant funds have worse turnover. If some PM jumps ship and abandon his crew, Cubist is willing to keep the talents and help them to find positions internally. The benefits/401K are also very generous. They are building the quant business for long term, and is expanding it.

Cons

Not much to complain.

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.
