Will this internship make me filthy rich?
No. If it's money you're after go work in the sub-basement of a bank on an obscure back end system that no one will care about. If you want the chance to work on critical projects used by millions of people, to have a voice in designing complex systems, to have your ideas be valued, and to learn an exceptional amount in a very short period of time then this is the place for you.
Come again? I don't care how successful these guys are- I hope whoever crafted this page isn't judging the communication portion of the interview. To whom is this kind of language supposed to appeal?

It's a bit of a straw man. In NYC at least, many of the hedge funds have more "startup" like environments than the startups do.
Personally I love it... to each his or her own :-) It's verbose but information-rich, no?
