Pros

There are some fantastic free snacks, very cool artwork in both the Connecticut and New York Offices, and the managers are helpful and productive, they don't take any crap.

Cons

I am a high school student who is just interning for three days but from what I have seen, many of the academy students have visible idiosyncrasies because their intelligence is so developed. The bulk of the finance guys are kind of weird to say the least, but it doesn't bother me too much unless I have to talk to them.

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.
