Pros

Good experience. Learned a lot about statistical arbitrage. They gave us training sessions to test the alpha platform. It worked pretty well.

Cons

The work is pretty challenge and they didn't give us much instruction. I need to read many books and articles to learn knowledge. The book, active portfolio management, gave me some inspiration.

Pros

Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

Cons

The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
