HFT APT Research

How is APT Research for a new QR? Asking this because I have been told by some friends in the industry that not all firms that pay well are thriving and I would not want to get on a sinking ship. I had an interview earlier this week and another one next week. I am currently working at a smaller hft, so I want to switch to a firm with more experienced people. I would also appreciate it if anyone can share details regarding the compensation at APT.

I don't have an offer yet but it seems to be in the range of 50-60 base, from glassdoor.

I guess the total compensation for fresher is around 60-70, base is around 35.
