tech company vibe in the hedge fund space
Pros
* Good work/life balance, feeling not so much different from Google and likes which is my previous position. * Almost obsessively tech-driven approach to investment. * Nice location at Soho (as compared to mid-town like some banks) * Generous home-from-home policy. * People often say bad things about hedge fund in general but TS has generally pretty friendly culture.
Cons
* There is no food provided (albeit it has decent snack bars). * People like work-from-home a lot to the point it is bit hard to feel I belong here as a new joiner. * Tech debt is often overlooked in a way that would not be tolerated in Google. * The in-house eng tools are sometime not state-of-art. * Some sign of red-taping is observed which I believe is a bad sign for non-executive level employees.
