I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at WorldQuant (Paris) in Nov 2024
Interview
Première épreuve à distance d'environ 2h, contenant d'une part des brainteaser (dénombrement, probabilités) ainsi que quelques problèmes type leetcode. Pas d'informations pour le reste des entretiens. Il est possible de sauter une question puis d'y retourner.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions de dénombrement (trouver le nombre de configurations possibles pour un cube avec différents patterns)
The hiring process consists of two main stages: an online assessment and a three-round interview with a researcher.
1. Online Assessment:
Format: A test with 40 multiple-choice questions.
Content: The questions cover a broad range of topics, including probability, mathematics, and coding.
2. Interview Rounds:
Number of Rounds: Three separate interviews.
Interviewer: A researcher from the company.
Focus: The interviews heavily feature questions on probability. The questions are similar to those found in the green book
Include 3 rounds: CV Screening -> Math test -> Interview. The CV Screening is very tough, only qualified candidates would be shortlisted and moved to next round. The math test is not easy, the candidates need to review their math knowledge to be able to answer more than 60% question.
In the interview round, the interviewers ask about math problem (mine is statistic and probability, use both pure math and monte-carlo simulation to solve it), and 1 coding question (not very hard, about easy-medium on leetcode)
