academy associate

Submitted application, transcript, etc. Then questionnaires, case study, behavioral interview, case coach interview. Very slow and long winded process. I feel that the Academy associate recruiting process is largely a PR move by the company to rehab its image after the Steve Cohen scandal. Because they actually only hire less than 10 trainees but makes recruiting a rolling process to get as many applicants as possible, when in reality, they look for very specific and cookie cutter backgrounds. The large scale advertising for the academy program seems to be the same PR show year after year. I find it hard to believe why they don't just hire 30 people one year if there was such a great need, instead of massive recruiting efforts for just <10 spots. Either they have very high turnover rate and/or the PR aspect to rehab the criminal history of the company. I have personal issues working for a company that has a criminal record, where the fund is only allowed to invest in Steve Cohen's money due to government regulation/fines.

我宁愿让实际的决策者决定经历两个月的过程的合适/简历，这似乎是浪费时间，因为以前的一轮只是提交案件和调查表，并与人力资源交谈，并且没有得到实际决策者审查简历。
You only get an actual decision maker very late into the process( after 2 months) and it seems the interviewer has already formed an opinion by then about whether to hire even before the interview, and only did the interview as a PR effort to increase the applicant pool and goodwill of the company - continuous learning, training helping next generation spiel. How else can they attract the best talent after the fund has been tainted by insider trading + other scandals? My interviewer was very abruptly and joined over 10 minutes late, kept changing the interview time. Seems like a lack of strong company culture, very cutthroat and everyone does their own thing.
