      Quantitative Researcher

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Interesting problem; gave us a lot of data sets; lot of freedom to come up with original predictive models - can use simple to sophisticated machine learning based methods. Promotions are fair and completely performance based.

      Cons

      Competitive culture, lot of secrecy. No one really talked to each other. Constantly compared you with others, not a healthy environment to be in for an extended period of time. They even employ some underhanded tactics when negotiating salary.
