Two Sigma is a technology-driven investment management firm specializing in data science and quantitative research.
- Incredibly corporate - Very much a "keep your head down and don't ask questions" kind of place. If you question the ethics of the company at all you will get shot down. - The entire job and EOY reviews are centered around ladder-climbing. - Very soul-sucking job. It revolves around always gunning for the next promotion, salary increase, and title. - Not much of a culture really other than "we're nice" which just really means they are corporate nice. There's so much politics and passive aggressiveness everywhere.
very smart people, strong engineering culture, (sometimes) extremely challenging problems to solve
i always enjoy working with smart brains around the world, so much to learn from them.
