Good firm - IT Engineer Point72 Employee Review

Long term vision and collaborative environment compared to other firms in the hedge fund industry.

Due to the pods culture, the requirement for independent research is not for everyone and could be especially demanding for people with less experience.

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

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
