Process
They threw me two hard questions for the internship roles, not to mention that I wanted to do ML, not SWE. The questions were too hard for me to solve, so I just submitted them.

Helpful Team, Pay Too Low
Junior Software Developer • Former Employee
Sydney, Australia
March 30, 2023
Pros: Most people are nice to work with and super helpful. However, it's a bit of a gamble, as your environment/WLB will largely depend on which team you land on.
Slightly better WLB than similar trading firms.
There is a healthy obsession with QoL features, such as build, which is nice for devs.
Cons: * Relatively low pay compared to other firms.
* Some code is poorly written (especially in older software), which can lead to a bad time if you have to work with it.
* High attrition, both by choice and by force (there was a recent mass layoff with zero warning).
* Little to no documentation and a lack of focus on it. Also, nobody really cares much about testing. Combined with high attrition, this makes for an inefficient work environment.
* A relatively high proportion of devs are expected to support traders.
