Pros
The quant industry is hard to break into, and this firm isn’t a bad place to start. You may get the chance to learn things end-to-end, and depending on your desk, you could be trusted with meaningful tasks early on, which is a great opportunity. The culture is generally positive — most people are approachable and willing to help you learn.
Cons
Training quality varies greatly desk to desk - if you’re unlucky, you may end up stuck with repetitive or low-value tasks for a long time. The company has struggled with profitability for years and suffers from consistently high turnover, not just among graduates. If you’re on a temporary visa, this could put you in a precarious position. It’s also confusing to see them hiring new graduates from overseas while letting go of existing performing employees.
