Working at a non financial institution as an investment analyst

I have seen a few job postings on quantitative investment analyst positions at non-financial institutions. Does anyone have any comments to share on working in one of these positions? Specifically on quality of life, stress load, salary difference to major IB or HF, etc.

Thanks!
