Pros

Benefits and compensation are industry leading.

Cons

Very long hours and micromanaging leaders who are supported by their senior leaders. They allow the toxic environment to fester since they only care about money.

Pros

Efficient organization and management. Flat structure that top management at Cubist is accessible by anyone. Serious work, no nonsense talking, "show me the result" attitude. One of the top quant shops out there for serious researchers and developers.

Cons

Hours can be long due to the nature of the (global market) business.

Pros

Work with very smart people. My direct PM was actually very good to work with but the overall environment was extremely cutthroat and unforgiving. The name carries a lot of respect within the industry.

Cons

High stress environment. Everyone is expecting to be on call all the time. Sundays are supposed to be spent writing weekly updates and catching up on research. Teams are essentially competing with each other so there is no collaboration. A lot of self-centered people. Compliance scare is making the company bureaucratic and difficult to work in.
