My day to day role generally involves working on whatever task I am working on, this could involve writing C++ code, running tests, or doing some data analysis. Additionally there are some meetings sprinkled in throughout the day.
In the last week of quant rotation (month 6). I have been building backrests in python, as well implementing different features into our trading framework to alert changes to the trading environment.
Mainly alpha research

Pros and cons of working at Tibra Capital
Pros
The company culture is very collaborative, with many people happy to chat to help you learn things or hear your ideas.
Very flexible with hours.
Work-life balance.
Getting to work on my problem-solving skills and being surrounded by a bunch of smart people where I am able to learn a lot from the people around me.
Free lunch. Massages. In-work hours activities. The office location is on the beach.
Cons
Pay is low compared to other companies in this field.
It seems like there are many areas of the business you can do. However, you will have to put in the time first to work your way up.
Working with older and slower systems can get frustrating, with systems either breaking or... slowing down work.
It is getting a little crowded.
No real commitment [to sustainability].
