Good People, good group, maybe less $$ than some competitors
Pros: I was working full time in quantitative research in the NY headquarters. The group was very relaxed, incredibly smart and supporting people, inspiring boss. Work life balance was OK.
Cons: We (quantitave researchers) were given no real responsibility of the algorithms and models we created. Our job was basically and internal consulting to the managements. All business decisions (involving our work) were done by senior managers who had no knowledge of the advance math and engineering we were using. If you are a talented quantitative person and want to do "real work" consider joining a quant hedge fund instead.
