Interview
30 minutes total, 15 minutes with a non-quant guy, and another 15 minutes with a quant girl. The first 15 minutes was easy - mostly a resume run-through and making sure you can communicate well. The second 15 minutes was a bit awkward.
Interview Questions
The quant girl had a heavy accent and was more interested in finding out about what signals we used at my old shop even at the nitty-gritty details, even though there were multiple times I said I couldn't divulge it because of IP issues. She didn't seem to really care for that. Also, they made strange claims about how all the PhDs they came across were terrible and couldn't even calculate betas. I'm not a PhD myself, but found that remark to be a bit outlandish.

Some sample questions:
Walk me through your resume
Explain to me what formula you used in that signal
Why did you model that signal that specific way
Do you know any machine learning
Why do you want to work at a hedge fund

IQ / Intelligence Test
Interview
Went to Mavericks office anticipating a face to face interview. Went to a video conference and was asked what did I like about the hedge fund business model. Nothing else. Then asked to take a couple of IQ tests.
Interview Questions
The only question asked was what do I like about the Hedge fund business model. When probed I was told to talk explicitly about the operations of the business model. She asked about the cost structure of the business model and how does it differentiate itself competitively from other firms. I was definitively taken off guard with this question and had hoped to talk about how I think about investing or pitch a few companies that I had been preparing for. The interview was in total about 15 mins
