CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty good overall culture, but as always, can depend on team. Excellent benefits, fair comp. Management is relatively more transparent than my previous companies. Modern art on display in all offices.

Cons

Some people/teams may be difficult to work with, as is typical in many firms. On the plus side, conflicts are usually resolved smoothly. Distance between Stamford and NYC offices can be a challenge for employees working at both locations.

Business Outlook

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.
