Business Outlook

Pros

Office close to Grand Central, matching 401K, industry standard pay. Low performance expectations.

Cons

I worked in the quantitative business, Cubist Systematic Strategies, of Point72. There are several PM groups, and each group is different. I found my group too political for my comfort. Moreover there is a decent turnover in technology and support groups. Makes it difficult to work if you are working with one of these groups on a long term project.
