Pros

It use to be a good place with good management, and fare compensation. A place where you could stay and make your career.

Cons

Too much pressure to perform has lead to environment of paranoia. Senior management has stopped caring. Salaries have lagged the market. They promise a lot, but always fail to deliver. Old creaking infrastructure. Culture is toxic, and it's hard to trust people around you. It use to be a low turnover, but it has shot through the roof in last few years. The model has changed to IP gathering. Hire people learn what they know, and then force them out.

Pros

I've worked for cubist and before for many years. Management team has done a great job improving the quantitative trading business over the years. People working here are usually friendly. The firm offer various opportunities for people that want to move to a different role or when a team is not successful and need to be dismissed. The firm seems becoming more patient for team to be successful and grow since apparently a quant business takes time to build. The firm is also investing heavily expanding the business. The firm also put lots of effort to make the management to be more transparent.

Cons

The supporting teams could be more efficient. sometime it could take a long time for a issue to be resolved.
