Would not recommend. OK for a gap year if you want to actually invest your time somewhere else. - Quantitative Researcher bei WorldQuant: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Google "The routine of the hedge fund is just like a big whale eats" review in glassdoor, this comment describes the nature of "research" there quite well. Apart from that, most of the company culture I encountered showed lack of integrity, lack of basic understanding of statistics, or both. It is a very political environment, in the bad sense of the word. I guess that it wasn't always like that, but the few good people that I knew who were still doing research there were highly unhappy or already left. Absurdly long non compete.
