I recently applied for Point72's Academy Summer Analyst Position through their website. A little over a day later, I received an email inviting me to participate in their candidate vetting process by taking a ~10 minute online cognitive reasoning assessment. Does anyone have any experience taking this assessment or with the SA recruiting process for Point72 in general? Any help would be appreciated.

What they use is basically a mini IQ test. I don't think there were any finance specific questions on it, but I wouldn't bet the farm on that. The individual questions aren't very hard, but it is timed. Good Luck!
and how long did you hear back from them after the assessment?
I received and took the assessment last night Taus Cola
It's essentially a Wonderlic test. There are several free versions online - just Google around and do a couple practice ones to get familiar with the cadence of questions. While the time limit sounds extremely limiting, I had enough time to go back and check most of my answers. Good luck!
Has anyone heard back from Point72 after taking the wonderlic yet?
I got an invitation for a Hirevue pre-recorded interview due by Friday
Could you share some of the questions in the video interview with us?
Hey thanks for posting! Would be super if you could share what all you were tested on in the hirevue interview
Cheers!
