I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Point72 (New York, NY) in May 2018
Interview
One hour phone call describing my past background and projects. I spoke with Yingyong Chen and he asked a number of probing questions about my experience at my past employer. I told him I was on a non-compete and couldn't reveal proprietary information, but he continued to ask about nuances about the strategies I ran. I had to discontinue sharing information at a point.

Typical quant interview with lot of emphasis on ML and data science. Revise Python and pandas and ML libs. Nothing hard. Live coding in second round. Ok experience.
