I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Jan 2015
Interview
I got an "interview" through a recruitment agent, who informed me that the process was a written exam, then if you pass you go to a formal interview. I do not have a background in economics etc. so did not pass, so did not get a real interview. The people seemed nice, but they are clearly not interested in training people, so if you don't know the sorts of questions they have on their website don't bother. Besides, they don't offer to pay travel expenses.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in May 2025
Interview
First part was a test evaluating math, Stats, machine learning and financial knowledge. Next part was video interview with some employees but rejected soon after. The next part would be an extension on the first part and I believe final rounds involves a day in the office.
I was asked a Brain teaser type of question. It was quiet difficult but manageable. Great atmosphere. The interviewer was really friendly and nice. I really really enjoyed the interview process would recommend applying.
