I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at WorldQuant (Mumbai) in Dec 2011
Interview
On campus hiring, phone interview and then in person. Some probability and statistics puzzles, and one number theory question. Asked me about my background, why I was interested in this job, and my future career plans.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WorldQuant (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
Behavior and technical test followed by a very technical interview from senior researcher. A lot of questions from programming, probability and differential equations. It was the hardest interview I have ever met and I could not able to answer 40% of the questions
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at WorldQuant (Ramat Gan) in Jul 2015
Interview
An online exam followed by an on site interview (Ramat Gan, Israel). The interview had four parts: Human Resources, programming skills (python and c++), statistics and logics questions. The last part was in English.
The interview took around 3 hours.
The online exam took around 2 hours. Every question had a limited amount of time. It focused on statistics, but some questions involved general programming skills too (not a specific language).
