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.

Pros

Smart people always willing to help Great benefits/pay/lunch stipend etc. Collegiate environment, most analysts are in their mid- late-20's

Cons

Work can become repetitive - same coverage for multiple years at a time speaking to the same people Limited work life balance (but its a hedge fund so you should expect that going in) A lot of micromanagement/bureaucracy. Too many cooks in the kitchen overseeing work, can make the research process tedious
