I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at WorldQuant in Oct 2016
Interview
Went onsite after a brief campus interview. Met with about six different people, including HR and engineers. There was a mix of algorithmic, programming language, software engineering, and behavioral questions. Each interviewer had a specific area of questioning. The whole onsite process lasted about 4 hours and all took place in the same conference room. Some interviews were in person and others were through a video call system they use internally.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at WorldQuant
Interview
Met at a career fair at my university, had a nice chat and they scheduled me for a campus interview on the next day. Interview was a mini-quiz with multiple brain teasers. I got rejected the day after because I didnt get all of them right within the small amount of time I was given. Their engineer was friendly and interesting and I was sad I didnt go through to the next stage. I guess they want people to get all questions correct.
