Culture

As part of a global team, our employees are exposed to markets, cultures, and challenges far beyond those an organization might encounter operating in the U.S. alone. At the D. E. Shaw group, you'll be working with people trained in a variety of disciplines from around the globe in a collegial, casual environment in which corporate hierarchies are kept to a minimum. There is no dress code (you won't see many suits and ties), the firm is flexible in its approach to time away from the office, and many positions don't have fixed hours. As a result, many employees feel that the firm combines some of the most attractive features of academia with considerably greater rewards.

The D. E. Shaw group is committed to the well-being and development of our employees both inside and outside the workplace. To this end, we offer a number of benefits and activities focused on personal growth, wellness, and the creation of a vibrant internal community. These include subsidized gym memberships, free admission to and private tours of premier museums, a communal Superpantry stocked with an abundance of free snacks, and other special benefits for each of our global offices.
