From free museum memberships to on-site wine tastings, the firm tries to facilitate personal growth for our employees in addition to fostering their professional development. We look forward to hearing from you. Best of luck with your studies! Sincerely, Strategic Growth The D. E. Shaw group www.deshaw.com
