Pros

Efficient organization and management. Flat structure that top management at Cubist is accessible by anyone. Serious work, no nonsense talking, "show me the result" attitude. One of the top quant shops out there for serious researchers and developers.

Cons

Hours can be long due to the nature of the (global market) business.

Pros

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Cons

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.
