BLOG INSIGHTS AND ANALYSIS

On Wednesday, the New York office had a farewell event for the summer interns, as the internships for 2025 wrap up throughout August. The interns celebrated the end of an exciting, insightful, and successful summer at Quantbot along with the rest of the team, reflecting on the past few months of learning and developing as professionals. 

Everyone enjoyed delicious sandwiches from All’Antico Vinaio, as well as ice cream sundaes in the kitchen, complete with a wide variety of flavors and toppings to choose from. While we are sad for the interns to leave, we look forward to seeing many of them as future Quantbot employees who will help to grow and enhance the company!

Throughout this summer, all of our New York interns have had the opportunity to enjoy group lunches with each of our US-based Quantbot partners. Over delicious catered food, the interns had the chance to pick the brains of our seasoned professionals, as well learn about the partners’ experiences starting and growing Quantbot over 15+ years. It is always exciting to meet the new generation of enthusiastic interns, and Paul, Ashar, Mike, Rohit, and Tom are all glad to have had the chance to speak with them in a more personal setting.

In the London office, Thuong also held a lunch with our two interns, alongside directors Dan and Tim, as they all discussed their progress that has been made this summer. As we are coming to the end of the intern season, we wish nothing but the best for those who have joined us at Quantbot this summer!

Start your engines! The London office enjoyed an exhilarating evening at the F1 arcade, competing in four teams of four against each other. With endless food and drinks, the fun lasted all evening, with Joe taking the win overall after 28 total rounds. Lily and Zihao from the New York office also joined in on the fun, which was a special treat! As the sun began to set, the shades were brought up to reveal stunning views of St. Paul’s Cathedral right next to the venue.

As July comes to a close, we look forward to more visitors in London for the summer, as well as lots of more outings!

On July 17th, the New York Office team enjoyed an exciting and flavorful evening with a whiskey tasting and hands-on cocktail and mocktail making class. Hosted by the wonderful Melissa from NightInn, the session was a fun and interactive way for employees and interns to unwind, learn new skills, and mingle with each other. 

The Event featured an abbreviated Whiskey tasting to kick things off. Then the class shifted into mixology mode, where everyone was guided through the steps to create four different cocktails and mocktails which featured a Tropical Old Fashioned, a classic and Peach Whiskey Sour with alternatives using black-tea for the mocktails. Each team member was provided with their own shaker and tools, making it a fully immersive and personalized experience. 

To complement the drinks, there were delicious bites provided by Mangia, giving everyone the perfect pairing of snacks to enjoy while mixing. Overall, it was a refreshing and fun-filled break after a long workday and a great opportunity for the team to bond. Cheers! 

After a long day at work, there is nothing better than to walk into the kitchen to find it transformed into a cocktail making station! The London office had the treat last night to learn how to make Espresso Martinis and Passionfruit Martinis by a professional mixologist, as well as compete against one another to see who could create the best original concoction. While some made the bold choice to add energy drinks and protein shakes to their creations, Chanya and Tori’s unique fruity cocktails with muddled fresh berries ultimately won the competition.

The event-filled summer is not over yet, and we look forward to more fun times for team bonding coming up!
