Point 72 WLB and culture

Was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what working in Point72 is like. I have tried searching but no one really gives a straight answer.

What're the hours like and whats the WFH situation there, I might be joining their internship program next semester.

That's what it is...plenty of reading, thinking, talking/texting with colleagues/friends at other firms, that occurs informally outside of those hours but the hours in the "work week" are quite manageable.  I don't generally care what hours my analysts are in their seats because most are directly compensated by their P&L.  The stress of mark to market, however, for PMs and to some extent those analysts, cannot be overstated- very different stress than a client facing banker.
