Pros

Entrepreneurial and no-nonsense results-driven environment. Stable capital base. Experienced and understanding senior management. Benefit from the resources of a larger firm yet maintain the intimacy of smaller teams. Great career potential and management invests significant time and resources into junior employees. High level of retention, especially for research analysts.

Cons

Research is very open-ended so need to be very independent and self-motivated.

Pros

Smart people always willing to help Great benefits/pay/lunch stipend etc. Collegiate environment, most analysts are in their mid- late-20's

Cons

Work can become repetitive - same coverage for multiple years at a time speaking to the same people Limited work life balance (but its a hedge fund so you should expect that going in) A lot of micromanagement/bureaucracy. Too many cooks in the kitchen overseeing work, can make the research process tedious
