Working at a place like P72 or Citadel,

Can anyone elaborate on what's it like working at a place like Point 72 or Citadel? Online reviews I can find (glassdoor) consensus seems lean toward bad work life balance. Wonder if anyone can elaborate on what sort of hours and life style there are.

I am also interested in learning about the global macro and quantitative strategies at these funds. Love it if someone can provide some details on what these guys do, what sort of analytics they deploys and what the returns are like compared to pure L/S equities strategies (such as global equities group at Citadel.
