Interview
A recruiter set up an interview with them. I met first with the junior analyst who gave me a couple basic investment questions, then I was given 15 minutes alone to work through an excel sheet to perform some more complicated calculations. Then I met with the VP of Quantitative Research and we went over the excel sheet and brainteasers.
Interview Questions
Question made famous by Microsoft - Why is a manhole cover round?

I gave various reasons but he seemed to be looking for one particular answer - that it can't fall through the hole, whereas a square potentially could.
