What Interns Say

"My overall experience here at Allston has been extremely valuable. Technical positions in the financial industry are fast-paced, challenging, and rewarding; my internship was no exception. The people are great and the company cares about individuals; this was an excellent opportunity that I would not have traded for any other position elsewhere.

I've gotten to work on interesting projects that are also valuable to the firm. My primary focus has been on stock exchange simulation and market-making obligation monitoring. Both of my major projects are currently in extensive use throughout the firm; very awesome from my perspective."

Developer Intern, Tools Team / Eurodollars Desk (Summer 2007)

"As an intern at Allston, I was able to gain valuable experience in applying my education to real-life scenarios and learn more at the same time. I used my skills as a developer to develop a more efficient system of storing trading information. The employees at Allston taught me what I needed to know to be able to complete the task. The people here are so friendly, and were ready to answer any question that I had.

The other parts of the internship are great too. Living downtown just a short 10 minute walk from the loop in Chicago is an exciting place to be. The company outings are a lot of fun too. We went golfing last summer and I had a blast. My overall experience here has been worthwhile, so much so that I am going to return full-time!"

"Working at Allston is a great experience. It is a challenging environment in which you contribute to the overall success of your team on a daily basis. Just because you are an intern, it doesn't mean that you are given unimportant tasks other people would rather not do. On top of this, the atmosphere and benefits are great. From providing daily breakfast and lunch, as well as weekly massages, to outside events like paintball, golf, and dinners, Allston helps to build a sense of fellowship and togetherness not found at other companies."
