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.

Cubist Systematic Strategies

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Excellent benefits - insurance coverage + perks

Cons

Management team is arrogant. They are always right. When they made mistake, they will just keep quiet and pretend like it didn't happen. They like to set unrealistic goals. If an employee somehow managed to hit any of them, they will raise the bar immediately and ignore his/her achievement. . Performance appraisal is a joke. There is no shared visions from top to bottom. Everyone is walking in different direction. People at the lowest hierarchy have to work on competing requests from all direction. HR is not playing the right role to build a proper assessment process. Managers don't have a systematic way to evaluate their subordinates. . Team player will get hurt the most. Many people in the team will magnify your mistakes and embarrass you in front of management/team members/users. . No career path at all. You will be working on everything everyday, sometimes including weekend and public holidays. No job specialisation. You can only be a half-cooked data analyst/scientist who may not have an opportunity to work on any research project.

Pros

Benefits and compensation are industry leading.

Cons

Very long hours and micromanaging leaders who are supported by their senior leaders. They allow the toxic environment to fester since they only care about money.
