Pros
-Long track record of strong returns and great reputation in the industry - certainly one of the top funds in the region - Very sharp group running the investment book, all of whom are ready and willing to share knowledge/experience -Flat organizational structure in which all all investment team members have opportunity to propose and diligence new investment ideas to the PMs/partners -Transparent investment process in which entire investment team is expected to understand and opine on all firm investments in regular investment committee meetings (great learning experience, especially for younger employees) -Dynamic, intellectually stimulating environment in which you will be researching wide variety of topics (certainly not going to be bored at Q!) -Team-based work environment without much politics or ego even among the senior personnel - Very reasonable work hours by hedge fund industry standards -Generally a group of personable, fun people who are pleasant to work with
Cons
- This isn't really a con, but potential employees should understand that Q has a very diligent, hard-working, process-oriented work culture which isn't necessarily for everyone (about which Q is very clear upfront and works hard to vet)
