Pros

Two Sigma will compensate you well relative to hedge fund competitors. It's probably one of the more laid back firms to work for in NYC.

Cons

The cons certainly outweigh the pros. There are many issues that stem from the top. It's no secret that the co-founders are in a feud and simply can't make decisions. This cascades down the entire organization. Two Sigma has been stagnant over the last 5 years due to this issue. They've lost some really talented people and have also had multiple layoff rounds due to poor fund performance. TS used to be a really great place to work but has drastically fallen from grace due to immaturity across the organization and at the highest levels of management.

Such a let down...

Pros

Nothing. I came to Two Sigma after being recruited by several people within my department. Everything that I was told/promised that my role would entail... simply never came to be and won't now or in the future. It has been incredibly clear the company's mindset around talent and growth is so far "our" competitors.

Cons

Everything. Prior to joining, I believed Two Sigma was one of the best companies to work for and truly invested in their employees. And while I have been working along side some of the brightest people on the planet, Two Sigma needs to be retrospective and change... otherwise it will be nearly impossible to retain such bright minded people.

Pros

Great compensation Pretty good benefits Really smart people who love to learn Some semblance of a work balance can be maintained

Cons

Really don't like the open environment. Sometimes it is very hard to concentrate Typical growing small company. Several people shouldn't be managers but are because they were good at other jobs
