      Pros

      The benefits at SAC were great, including health insurance, tuition reimbursement, and vacation days. Most of the coworkers were friendly, and SAC is a reputable hedge fund in the industry. While other hedge funds were losing money, SAC was one of the few that reported a profit in the quarter.

      Cons

      Many of the downsides I found at working at SAC was upper management. Your talents aren't truly recognized by management, therefore there isn't efficiency. Even though there was scope for advancing, management tries to keep you where you are for their own needs. Some management weren't right for the job - a sentiment that was shared by many.

      Pros

      Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

      Cons

      Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.

      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
