Stamford, CT · founded 2014
Point72 is Steven A. Cohen's hedge fund, formed in 2014 as the successor to S.A.C. Capital, and it runs like a high-caliber, high-intensity trading floor from its Stamford, CT waterfront headquarters. People consistently rave about the quality and helpfulness of their colleagues and the merit-based path to advancement, but the flip side is real: work-life balance is the most common complaint, hours are long, and everything can feel urgent. Pay is solid but some quants and engineers feel it trails the very top of the hedge-fund pack, and technology outsourcing to Poland has been a sore point for some. The benefits are genuinely good on paper — strong healthcare, generous parental and family leave, matched retirement, tuition assistance — but the company publishes almost no specifics, so expect to learn the numbers only once you're in the room.
