Pros

None. If I could give these people zero stars, I would.

Cons

If you like being laid off for no reason or with no warning, go work for WorldQuant. So much drama and back-stabbing it will consume your work environment. Be aware that this company is hitting the "do not hire" lists by other financial companies.
