Pros

- Hours are very fair especially for financial services industry - Smart and conscientious coworkers who want to help you succeed - Data science pro: quants are front and center in the business model, their work directly drives investment decisions

Cons

- Intellectual property constraints limit exposure to other smart people you could otherwise learn and grow from - Recent "gains" in diversity are small and inconsistent across divisions - Lack of structure when it comes to people management- probably works great sometimes but I have found it challenging.

Pros

Culture: do great work, work with incredibly intelligent and talented people, and importantly, no wall street culture. By that I mean people do not have the delusion that overwork or self-sacrifice is a heroic quality, or source of success for the firm. Hiring the smartest people, and setting very high expectations for them is much more important. You're not expected to work 100 hours per week, but you are expected to have the most intelligent work product in the industry.

Cons

Small-ish company - you have to be comfortable being patient when looking for career growth opportunities
