d.e. shaw long/short

had an inbound here and see a thread here with some information:

https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/hedge-fund/de-shaw-ls-equity

does anyone have any specifics (are PMs good / how is this as a place out of IB for LS / comp / culture / etc). Anyone have more information in these areas, have any specific anecdotes for if their equities business is a solid place to start vs. MMs?
