Pros

it is one of the largest hedge funds in the world so it looks very good on a resume--they make you go to a class which has a mid term and final so you definitely learn a lot. they have some fun but bizarre social events. they pride themselves on having a meritocracy

Cons

it has a cult-like culture, people only seem to be friends with other work people--it's weird....it's also very stressful, lack of good work-life balance. there is always large turnover for the junior people
