Pros
My highlight was the wonderful individuals that I had the chance to work with. There's also an unparalleled ability to grow into your role and take on new responsibilities.
Cons
If you're relatively new to the industry, this role can be a lot to handle. A word of advice is to enter this firm with a strong knowledge base and experience. You will need it.

Pros
If you’re looking for an environment where you have the opportunity to be challenged, this is the place for you. This isn’t the place for you if you are a wallflower. Everyone is given the opportunity to stand on their own and stand out, it’s up to you to prove yourself.
Cons
Again, not suitable for portfolio managers seeking an easy time. Expectations are high here – it isn't that they don't let you make mistakes, but there are expectations that people come on board with a high work ethic and an ability to keep on top of research and implement it.

Pros
The value you gain from the experience at Anson Funds is, from my perspective, unparalleled. The firm offers a rewarding opportunity where you actively participate in responsibilities similar to those of portfolio managers and analysts. Collaborative teamwork is a cornerstone, extending all the way up to senior leadership, which provides encouragement and mentorship.
Cons
This internship demands proactive engagement and you will be expected to work long hours during certain times of the year.

Pros
I found that the team culture was very conducive to the work that we do. While you do work independently, the company morale was positive and we were all there for each other. I was generally pretty happy while I was here.
Cons
It’s challenging work and deadlines are unforgiving, so you have to be able to multitask.

Pros
If you need to get real experience in finance, starting off at a firm like Anson is vital. To be honest, I learned ten times more interning at this firm for a couple months than what I learned at business school. Well worth the time.
Cons
You have to be able to work independently.

Pros
You have the opportunity to learn from senior members in a collaborative way which I found incredibly valuable.
Cons
It’s challenging work for a new intern and it can be pretty intense, just do your best not to get overwhelmed.

Pros
You aren't going to have your hand held here but the experience is by far worth it. The intern experience is incredibly rewarding because you are effectively able to do the same work that portfolio managers and/or analysts are doing. The team is incredibly vested in your growth and wants you to do well. The team works together collaboratively and even the senior leadership is encouraging.
Cons
This isn't for interns who want to coast. You're expected to make an impact.

Pros
if you’re going to work in finance, you need hands-on experience, plain and simple. I was looking for that kind of experience at Anson and that’s exactly what I got. The team here is professional, but their expectation is that you can handle responsibility and manage the work assigned to you. Everything considered, you get out what you put in. If you’re dedicated to the work here, you’re going to get the experience you need for your career.
Cons
Hours can be long at times

Cons
None that I’m aware of.
