Svantaggi
I usually don't like to express negative views, but I fell obligated to write this review. Hope it can help people who is considering joining this firm. The quant arm of Point 72 used to call Cubist Systematic Strategy. Seems they removed the name, now people can no longer find info on Glassdoor (try to think why they do that? ) The company has two relative independent businesses: fundamental ( Point 72) and quantitative ( Cubist ). I don't know much about fundamental side, but I can say a few things about Cubist: It is no a fun place to work. Cubist is organized as many small PM teams, there is no sharing among teams, even within the team people don't share ideas. Don't expect to learn any thing, instead of contributing your alphas/ideas. In general, I think some PM teams are hiring people to get trading algos from him/her, instead of trying to grow with this person and help him/her become successful. Unless you plan to join as a PM, or one of the core member in the PM team is your uncle, please seriously consider other options. For more junior entering this field, consider other bigger places like two sigma/citadel, where you can actually learn something.
