Pros

Great place to work with many smart people. Good leadership. Upper management invests heavily in individuals.

Cons

The company is too nice. Some engineers are seriously incompetent. Not even just technically incompetent but also lack common sense and basically producing nothing useful.

Pays well, not always interesting work

Business Outlook

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
