Thoughts on Allianz Global Investors' Graduate Program

The last time the asset management graduate program at Allianz Global Investors has been mentioned was several years ago so I'm asking again about thoughts on the quality of the program, the reputation, and potential exit opportunities of the program. Is it a good company to start the asset management career in? Are there possible exit opportunities to bigger AM funds (Blackrock, Fido, etc.)?
