I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at G-Research (Paris) in Oct 2016
Interview
The first step is a 45min phone call, where you are told what they do at g-research and are asked a few general questions on stat/ML. Then, you have to make a 1:30 written exam about basic stat and ML, not difficult but very long (you have to be very fluent with using basic stats like Bayes rule etc). I was not prepared enough for this.

Question 1
How would you code a multiclass version of logistic regression ?
What is a naive Bayes classifier?
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at G-Research in Mar 2015
Interview
A test then a series of interviews, the process takes a couple of days. The test is fairly easy but it does require you to be quick so you have to prepare beforehand. The employees and recruiters are nice; I think they treat you fairly and give you a good chance to show your potential.

Question 1
Signed an NDA. Topics are undergraduate level but you need to be quick so it takes some significant preparation beforehand.
I applied online. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Nov 2016
Interview
First I had to do an online test which was not difficult at all and straight away I was called for an interview. I can't talk about the actual tests as I had to sign a NDA. I went to the company 3 times to meet two managers as one of the interviews had to be rescheduled. Overall I spent at least 4 hours with the company and even though I was told I would get a answer about my interviews it never happened. The company went quiet about it. The whole process seemed suspicious and strange but the managers/HR seems to be nice and friendly.
