Cubist academy

Looking for information on the Cubist academy for QR. looked at the job posting online. https://careers.point72.com/CSJobDetail?jobName=2…

I don’t know anybody that’s been through it unlike the far more popular P72 academy. If you guys have any info on the selection procedure and what is general pathway/ kind of work you start off doing vs what you will be doing by the end of it, please do share. Is it a quant replica of the traditional academy?
