I applied through other source. I interviewed at WorldQuant (Bangkok) in Jul 2019
Interview
There are 3 rounds for an interview, where the first round is a more technical interview with a team that I will be joining. The rest 2 rounds are interviews with senior levels, which are less technical intensive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe how statistical arbitrage works with examples.
Pure math and brain teaser. Very little algorithm. Nee very strong statistics basis. Some of the problems need tricks. Recommend applicants take a full review of statistics. Majority of questions are very classical.

Question 1
Triangle ABC has sides of length 45, 60 and 75. A point X is placed
randomly and uniformly inside the triangle. What is the expected value of
the sum of perpendicular distance from point X to this triangle’s three
sides
The interview consists of a series of technical and culture interviews. Technical interview is moderately difficult and focused on fundamentals. There are numerous research teams so interviews were designed to find best team fit as well as access ability. Leveraging a competing offer will be most effective.
