      Pros

      I was a Quant Researcher at WorldQuant. The work was interesting, and the people there are fun to work with.

      Cons

      The Quota that you are expected to fill means that you can't have a solid understanding of the algorithms that you are developing. The bonus structure and the company culture in general is too transactional in nature.

      Pros

      Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

      Cons

      The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
