Pros & Cons
I was given the opportunity to dive headfirst into the complex trading systems and start adding new functionality.
There is less micro-management compared to other companies, and there is a lot of room to grow and learn from more senior co-workers.
Everyday we're provided with breakfast snacks, multiple lunch options, and a cornucopia of pick-me-up treats.
Best training program any grad can receive ever. The effort and resources which go into you are unrivaled.
Compensation is very competitive, reviewed frequently, and portion is tied to the success of the business as a whole.
Working at Susquehanna can be very challenging and sometimes quite tiring.
Environment is more fast-paced and high-pressure which isn't for everyone.
The hours for researchers and traders are not very flexible as they are tied to market hours.
Pretty much no fluidity or choice in being able to move around desks
Generally, you take on more responsibility and coverage as you gain more experience at the firm. SIG doesn't have a structured title process like other financial firms (e.g. if you start as a trader or equity analyst, your role stays the same)

Responsibilities and pay have both increased quite rapidly during my time here. It is definitely a meritocracy where performance is measured in terms of the quality of your decisions and the expectations of the seat you are in over raw PnL numbers.
Susquehanna has one of the best offices in Sydney. I work on the top floor of One International Towers Barangaroo, which has stunning 360-degree views of Sydney.
