I know these guys are global macro, but could someone give a description on this firm, its relative placement, etc? And if possible, their interview styles. thanks

It is probably one of the toughest places in the world to get a job...MC is run by Louis Bacon who works out of the London office...They probably take interns, but my guess is that they are all relationship hires and that interns are not in the pipeline for their FT positions.

Everyone I know who has had a junior role there had family or friends who were pretty senior at the firm. Good luck.

Anyone have sources that describe their trading strategies? Or risk analysis?

I worked there as an SA on their equity desk a few years ago during my MBA so I can't say much about their trading strategies other than that they take macro bets mostly in FI, Currency, & Commodities. That should be no surprise - afterall, they are 1st and foremost a macro-fund. As far as portfolio and risk analysis, I would say they are very tight. They have some of the best risk-quant PhDs in the field there leading the charge.

They actually do in fact have an internship program that can translate into FT jobs. The internship program however is VERY new and is not the type of thing you apply to through your campus OCR like you would bulge brackets. Rather, you essentially need to have a connection to get into the program.
