Pros

Nice office, smart people around, free lunch, very good line for CV.

After SQ I started easily passing screenings to other hedge funds/tradings.

Cons

Management massively and openly favors people of the one particular country and very particular universities from this country. It's so obvious that everybody is joking about this fact including people from this favorable group.

For a dev side the "rule of thumb" is not to apply for a "Software engeneering" positions. They are very legacy based and overall devs are considered to be a second class citizens. Although there are also dev teams with a quant dev/researcher titles which do purely software engineering and have a very nice tcs and treated well.

Advice to Management

They wouldn't listen anyway.
