Fun fact is than their founder was an ex-JPM trader that nearly went to jail.

Can’t remember exactly what for but it seems pretty dodgy - I remember looking into them when I interviewed there for a SA a couple years ago.

If your gunna interview there be prepared for lots of oil & gas related technicals as opposed to that basics.

 

Not as bad as this experience, but I can second how brutal they can be in interviews.

Was straight up asked why I wasn’t able to answer certain technicals on a few occasions.

 

Ex Chairman of JP Morgan EMEA and the "King of Mining" - not a trader, an ECM/M&A banker and doubt jailing was ever on the cards here. Extract from news below:

Hannam is still allowed to operate in the City and has not been accused of acting maliciously.

“I am pleased and gratified that, despite the differences in view be­tween us, at no stage, has the FCA ever challenged my honesty and integrity or questioned my belief that I was acting in the interests of my client at the time, Heritage Oil and Gas,” he said in a statement yesterday.

“I am pleased also that at no stage has the FCA ever suggested that I was not a fit and proper person to cont­inue to operate in the financial markets and that my regulatory approvals remain in place.”

 
Funniest

A dude posted on WSO his experience there as an intern and he said they sent him to the Algerian-Moroccan border for some due diligence on a mining project and he nearly got kidnapped lol
