The percentile score in the title is calculated across the entire Company Database and uses an adjusted score based on Bayesian Estimates (to account for companies that have few interview insights). Simply put, as a company gets more reviews, the confidence of a "true score" increases so it is pulled closer to its simple average and away from the average of the entire dataset.

Interview
Upon being considered for candidacy, a one hour phone interview is undertaken with the intention of uncovering what trading style you use in your approach to the markets and how you assess risk. Questions regarding risk metrics, profitability, trade mining, position biases will be asked (i.e. long, short).

If successful in passing the telephone round, you will be flown to the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico for a day of interviews with traders, analysts and management. The travel is arranged by an exec assistant and paid for. You'll be set up in a nice hotel with access to local amenities.

You may notice an undertone of dissatisfaction in the voices of the current staff. This is not unusual. They probably aren't happy, because they work for buffoons.

BIGGEST ADVICE: When given the chance to ask questions, ask anything and everything you can about how they enjoy life on the island and, particularly, "is this opportunity as good as it looks, or is there some kind of puffery happening here?"
Interview Questions
You'll encounter at least one PhD grad who will push you as far as he can to uncover your knowledge of all things mathematical. Expect linear programming, integral calculus, matrix algebra, probability, risk management and even particle movement physics to be possible paths of conversation. These questions are difficult, but even baby steps will gain you credibility. Make an attempt to understand when you don't know. Don't fake it.
You'll be asked to craft a trading strategy within a 5 minute window given expected market conditions. Be precise about stop losses, entry timing, exit timing, trade size, portfolio balancing and rebalancing. Don't fake it. You will be asked follow up questions with the goal of breaking the strategy you present.
