Pros

One of the best data functions one can find anywhere in hedge fund industry. 24x7 data support by knowledgeable and highly qualified (PhDs and Masters degree holders) data scientists. Organization is highly structured but also open to innovation. Flat structure helps management hear new ideas. Straightforward merit based rewards and CEO knows every employee and his/her career objectives.

Cons

This is not a place for faint of heart. Very tough environment where you will not survive unless you are talented and hardworking. Relentless pursuit of productivity and excellence.
