Great Experience so far (Cubist)

Pros

Competitive healthcare, 401k, etc. Work/life balance is important, and taking a two week vacation is acceptable. Working from home is normal if the circumstances allow. Great visibility with upper management (had beers with CEO within 1 month of joining). Interesting and exciting work I've worked in finance for a long time. Very few firms in the industry care about personal growth or advancement. This seems to be different across P72 in general. Internal advancement/transfers happen regularly. Having multiple roles here is the norm not the exception.

Cons

It can be frantic here. There's a lot going on and everyone is busy. Most give 110%; that's the expectation. This is fine for me, because that's who I am. But it may be overwhelming to some.

Pros

- Working alongside top talent in machine learning, statistics, finance, and CS - Exposure to cutting-edge ideas from brokers, vendors, and academia such as private seminars by famous professors - Balanced culture that is conducive both to meaningful social interaction and to solid high quality work - Emphasis on personal growth and tasks that make an impact from first day of work - Competitive pay structure and benefits

Cons

- Could be a pro/con depending on the person: Office is right by Grand Central, so commuting above ground can get very hectic during rush hour.
