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

Pros

- Team dependent, but if you have a good boss good comp and WLB; could be a 5/5 - Very strong teaching program; learned more in the academy for businesses than the entirety of undergrad

Cons

- Hours are brutal; 7 days a week for like 2-3 months - Team placement process can be a mess; teams churn frequently so it's tough to find someone
