The interview process consists of the followings: - Online math exam - Screening : Checking your resume - 4R Tech Interviews : brain teasers & your quantitative skills - Cultural Fit : I haven't reached to this point yet. Overall the brain teasers were as simple as the ones in 'heard on the street'
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WorldQuant (Moskau, ) in Mar 2022

3 sets of 3 interviews: 1 hours each. Mostly aboul probability theory and statictics: quite tricky problems, one algorithmic interview After each set HR announced whether you passed it. Everybody is friendly and despite of hard questions interviewers try to make it less stressful

2 interviewers, each around 30 minutes. They ask professional (math, stat) questions as long as brain teasers. Have to be answered in a certain amount of time. They also asked you to tell them how you aim to solve questions.
