Two Sigma Fundamental Equities

There are some dated threads on the topic, but wanted to get a more recent check on the fund. It’s been a few years since they’ve stood up this strategy and it seems like they’ve built out a team. Curious if anyone has any views on them (e.g., whether they’re doing well, caliber of talent, compensation, culture). Thanks in advance!
