Online test and phone interviews.
Requires basic knowledge of calculus, statistics and some scientific common sense.
There are also some questions related to hedge fund, trading, therefore basic knowing to finance and economy is a plus.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Math problems with data structures and algorithms.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at WorldQuant (New York, NY) in Apr 2017
Interview
Test followed by 6 interviews, common technical questions. Interviewers are polite but not extremely intelligent, don’t worry too much, just read some good interview books and you will be ok
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WorldQuant in Mar 2017
Interview
The process consisted of a test, phone and onsite interviews. The test wasn’t hard, but there were quite many questions and very limited time. Onsite interviews were rather exhaustive, and the questions were harder. There was a behavioural part as well.
