Pros

Two Sigma is one of the few organizations that I've been part of that cuts through politics and values your contributions. The company is growing fast and it has been able to maintain a unique and positive culture. The informal environment let's people be who they are. There is just enough structure to be helpful without being bureaucratic. Tons of challenging projects to work on. Two Sigma is doing leading edge work in a number of areas.

Cons

If you like more traditional organizations that aren't changing quickly then Two Sigma is not for you. Alot of people being added...new faces appear every week. That kind of fluid environment might not be for some.

Don't be a Data Analyst

Pros

Good pay / benefits, esp. compared to the post-doc you just left, but not compared to what the programmers are getting.

Cons

"Data Analyst" is a misnomer. You are internal tech support for hundreds of poorly coded data pulls / ETL jobs. (There is no "analyst" component.) And you're clearly treated as a second class / disposable citizen in the company.
