Point72 Interview Process - Thoughts?

Hi All!

I have a first round at Point72 coming up in a couple weeks. Does anyone have any insight on the point72 interview process? This would be for an Analyst role.

Thank you!!

Going in later this week for a 1st rd. Have read the thread on modeling/wonderlic tests and noted the long process above. Anything else I should prepare for? Will there be any brainteasers, pitch a security, etc. that I can expect in the 1st meeting? This is for an experienced analyst role. Can't say I love the idea of still getting brainteasers this many years into my career. Have never been good at those, especially when put on the spot.

In a similar situation, experienced hire, expect to start process shortly. Have been told to expect HR-type first round (fit, why I'm leaving, why I want to join etc), then an online test (I think maths + psychometric). Then multiple rounds with hiring PM, at least one round with another PM as a second opinion, then hiring committee make a decision. 3-4mth process but I've heard of people taking longer. Was also told to expect brainteasers, to which I had the same response as you... I'm pretty good at them but anyone can still get stumped on a question, seems kinda bizarre.
