Overview
Every day, Susquehanna participates in millions of trades on exchanges around the world. Our operations team manages the infrastructure that allows these trades to move forward with speed and accuracy. How do we aggregate and analyze trading data to help make better future decisions? How do we ensure that we correct any trade breaks that would expose the firm to financial risk? How do we constantly improve the efficiency with which we complete the lifecycle of a trade? This is where our Operations Analysts come in.

Reviews
My responsibility is to help our traders gain an advantage in the markets in a few ways, such as recommending trades on breaking news, determining how information is disseminated, and providing valuation and analysis on situations in the markets. I try to understand what factors are driving price movements and ensure that our opinions are reflected in products that we trade.
Most of the time is intellectually stimulating with fun/interesting challenges on most days.
Day to day responsibilities include providing opinions on breaking news, preparing for events that we can trade on, and providing opinions to trades.

Pros and cons of working at Susquehanna International Group
Pros
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.
Cons
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)
