I work on a project to simplify some parts of the trading system. I start the day with looking at emails and a standup meeting. Then, I review other people's code or start brainstorming/designing/coding myself. Sometimes there are urgent bug fixes that need to be done, so that would be prioritised over my other to-dos.

The role is extremely autonomous and requires a large amount of personal ambition to push forward - which is good for someone with drive and creativity. Daily roles include creating new strategies and improving current production environments

Pros and cons of working at IMC Trading Australia

Pros

  • The people are great! It's a super collaborative environment which makes it perfect for learning as a grad. Most people aren't from Sydney which also means it's easy to make friends.

  • There is an awesome culture, everyone is super supportive, they give you a lot of responsibility and trust straight away.

  • Interesting domain, intelligent people, great perks (breakfast, lunch, dinner, multiple excursions etc.)

  • IMC provides many employee benefits and care about the well-being of their employees. The culture at IMC is also very different from the usual HFT firms. There are also a lot of opportunities to collaborate with other offices in various challenging projects. IMC gives a lot of support to charity foundations which help tackle different world problems such as education, primary needs and health care.

  • Responsibility is given to employees as they start out - it's a great way to prove your talent. Grads are often recognised for their contributions. Hard work, clever thinking and collaboration are at the centre of the culture The work is intellectually stimulating and challenging - there is never a boring day at work.

Cons

    • Can be stressful at times, but comes with the job.

    • Trading can introduce stress sometimes. But that's the nature of trading.

    • We have abundant of food, which more often than not gets thrown away once they are expired.

    • Slightly flat hierarchy makes it difficult to ascertain certain career pathways.

    • Sometimes leftover overnight food is thrown away.
