Interview Details
What did the interview consist of?
Skills Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I applied online and got an online assessment the following day. It consisted of mental arithmetic and simple probability problems (probability of getting 1 or 2 in a dice roll). There is no camera or anything like that, so it's easy to cheat. Therefore I don't see the point of the test, but that's just my opinion.
The next step was a self-recorded video interview. Two behavioral questions (describe a failure and why trading) and two harder probability questions (one use of bayes theorem and another use of of the binomial distribution).
Finally had a phone call with HR. It went ok, but they decided to not continue with the process because my graduation date (from a PhD program) didn't match their dates.
