Toxic environment sanctioned by HR

Pros

None. Pay is better at other hedge funds.

Cons

If you want to be railroaded just for showing up to work, this is the place for you. Employees who do not like you simply have to file false reports with HR and they will use all manner of illegal tactics in order to push you out of the company, including throwing you out of the building and refusing to let you back in. Half of an entire team was jettisoned by one toxic employee who continuously ran crying to HR whenever the team disagreed with their engineering opinions. HR had no problem believing an individual with the emotional IQ of a child with zero evidence of any actual foul play. All the accused were basically forced to either leave the company or move to other teams. Worth also mentioning that the person most bullied by the toxic employee was transgender and sadly made to feel incredibly unsafe and uncomfortable in their work environment.

Pros

* One of the highest paying jobs in software; raises every year; huge bonuses * Growing name recognition - ppl say that Two Sigma is very tough to get in * Lots of smart devs from companies like Google/Amazon * Treats employees well in general; good benefits * Flexible schedule; overtime is rare for most teams * Tech stack is not bad for a hedge fund; usually gets updated regularly

Cons

* Tough to find another job that pays as well... * Devs are second-class to quants/modelers in a way * A lot of uninteresting work to support the business. As a result, you don't get exposed to a lot of the big data/real-time technologies used in Internet companies. The emphasis on home-grown software also makes this worse. There's a chance that you're making good money in exchange for lower future marketability. * Unstable management changes all the time
