      Senior Quantitative Analyst Interview

      Jan 2, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at WorldQuant in Jun 2015

      Interview

      I got contacted by a head hunter. The first step is to get the green light from the CEO. After that you need to pass C and C++ online test (1h each). You will get no feedback. Only if you pass the tests you will have another WorldQuant interview exam (2h) on critical thinking, probability, basic programming and logic questions. These questions are typical of what you find on book about Quant interview. No feedback from WorldQuant. I only learn by the headhunter that they are passing !

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      C questions (1h): mainly guess what will the ouput of some code C++ questions (1h): questions about the phylosophy of C++ Quant questions (2h If I remember well): typical but you have between 3-5 min for each problems ! You need to be well trained (like you just finish university)
