Interview
I must say the firm's recruiters are very good at communicating. You will not be ghosted, and they will reply most of the times within the same working day. If they do not reply within 3 days, sending up a follow email has no harm. I sent them an email asking to postpone the interview process until I had finished my Masters and they had no problem with that.

First they sent me an online assessment with 3 problems, one of them related to house prices. They give ample time to solve these 3 problems, so make sure you have the most optimal way of solving these coding problems. I recommend solving using python for simplified syntax.

Next they sent me an online 1-way video interview. There were 2 brainteasers (10 minute time limit to solve each one). One of them was using algebra and geometry and the other was a brainteaser about the number of siblings. The motivational questions are really important alongside getting the brainteasers correct. As to how to prepare for the brainteasers, it really is just doing a lot of them, and having faith in yourself that you will get the trick in the moment. You might not get the trick in the moment, and that's okay, just something to learn from. You have to get both brainteasers correct to pass to next round.

To prepare for the third round I recommend Tibra's open source notebooks on statistical analysis. They comprehensively cover the basics of time series.
The third round was a data analysis task. Prepare well on time series concepts - stationarity, ARIMA, GARCH, potentially VAR models and cointegration. Generate a few time series in python and model them, and try some trading strategies. Try think of some trading strategies beforehand, and practice.

I didn't get past this point because despite my analysis being good, my trading strategy code had a bug which I couldn't solve until 5 minutes after the interview.
Interview Questions
I found the 2 brainteasers quite difficult to come up and solve on the spot. But these are always hard as unless you know the trick, they are difficult. The topics were simultaneous equations (calculating total number of siblings based on relative siblings) and geometry based.

Received a 3 question OA on hackerrank for the beginning, given 3 days to finish. Was given a personality and IQ test a few days afterward. Next was a prerecorded interview that had two brain teasers and some 'about me' questions. Scheduled a pair coding interview about three weeks later. Definitely look into online resources for this part, there are plenty of people who have shared their experiences with this part.

Interview
My application fro a quant trader role was rejected due to lack of experience - I'm a PhD student who just finished.

Instead they pushed me towards the accelerator program.

There was a HackerRank quiz, 3 question and 48 complete. but you had 2 weeks to start the test. one question on pyramid tree (triangular numbers), one question on missing values in a time series, one question on implementing pricing logic on a house comparison problem

Next there was a talegent.com series of reasoning tests (numerical, logical, verbal) These were quite weird IQ-style question with roughly 30 s per questions. The main thing this tested was exam sharpness and prep.
I seemed to have passed the HackerRank test, but my reasoning test stopped me from progressing. Kinda bs, because you can train for these and boost your score - but I didn't prep for that kind of test.
Interview Questions
Verbal reasoning was a weird film critic question where critic A and B had a short paragraph relating to a film without explicitly saying whether they recommended the film or not.

You had to judge which option best matched the text.

1-1 interview with PM who recently joined and was building out team, set up by headhunter. PM was looking for Senior Researcher and was working with selected recruiters it appears. Interview was a 60min in person discussion about PMs overall plan when it comes to strategies and the team. Feedback came swift and we already converged during interview process that there wouldn't be a mutual fit.
Interview Questions
Nothing unexpected per se. Questions were mainly about background and strategies plus general research process.

Interview
First round consists of 3 tests:
1. A programming aptitude test consisting of mostly logic questions
2. A hackerank programming ability test that lasts 48 hours from commencement. There are 3 questions, 1 is filling in missing data for time series can be achieved by basic spline, another is essentially testing if two strings are anagrams of each other, the last is straightforward question with plenty of edge cases to test.
3. A typical personality test where there is not supposed to be a right answer


Second round consists of a personality test that is called Work Behaviours Assessment where current employees have taken this test to serve as a baseline to compare you against.

Got ghosted after this without any response from anyone I messaged from the firm.
Interview Questions
For the hackerrank assessment there are 3 questions:
1. Fill in missing data for time series
2. Given two strings test if the odd letters for the first string and the even letters for the second string can be rearranged to be each other.
3. Given a scenario where a person is trying to price a house based on the total area for a requested area. Based on input data, you have to determine which one are outliers, and from the filtered data determine the most appropriate price.

Very slow process. Started with campus interview, followed by phone screens, and then onsite. Good experience overall, but could have been faster.
Interview Questions
I don't remember all the questions, but here are a few:

Given a random variable x, and a series of random varies y_1, y_2, ..., y_x, what is the expected sum of the random variables y_1 ... y_x given that x is drawn from a normal distribution with mean 10, and variance 500, and y from uniform on the interval 0, 1. I think there was some speciication that if x is negative, we re draw x, but I'm not a 100% sure.

The second question was a standard Bayes Rule problem, though I can't remember the exacts.
