Pros

the name of the firm carries a lot of weight. recommended to those newbies or those offered a role in PM teams you will be indeed exposed to a variety of 'stuff' if you are new to this industry

Cons

High turnover rate in the cubist central teams in Singapore. FACTs observed in SG cubist (mainly data team): 2019 to as of now Feb 2020, 6 ppl left due to various reasons with lengths of stays averaged to less than 2 years within "central teams" with less than 20 ppl. 5 of them left without even securing the next jobs. Political in the cubist central team: You could be offered a package to leave after speaking up to management.

Just joined recently. A ton of resources at the firm, its been good so far

I came from a competitor firm. Not actually a con to me but I noticed worse employee perks e.g. no dinner provided on Uber etc

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.
