Acadian Asset Management Reputation

I have heard of the firm Acadian Asset Management. It appart is a quant asset manager that manages close to $100B. I am wondering is this place known and how is it's reputation? What other firms have similar prestige as this firm or similar research.

I assume it is not on the level as AQR, or is it?

What is the reputation of this place in the industry. From Glassdoor it looks like a good place to work, but pay doesn't seem too high--i am not looking to work there.
