I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at G-Research
Interview
1. Online quizz on math 2. Online interview on math/brainteasers/machine learning Summary of the experience: Negative experience, many interviews, lot of emails with the recruiters and the interviewer lacked empathy. I have a PhD in Electrical Engineering, but the questions focused more on elementary computations. With my background, I was anticipating a deep dive into complex, technical topics. The overall environment during the interview felt less than congenial.The lack of empathy from the interviewer, to be frank, left me feeling uncomfortable rather than challenged.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General brain teasers questions that you can find online, and simple computations.
I applied online. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process consists of multiple stages with hard quantitative bars to be met. After CV screening, they send you their proprietary online assessment of 10 MC. Some questions seem unusual, some are intentionally tricky, but most are similar to standard quant brainteasers and you can pass if you have really grinded through standard material. Then, there is an online interview with a quant which will ask you technical questions in barrage. The bar probably depends on your answers' grades and how many questions you can answer. I did not expect some questions, so I was caught unprepared and I fumbled spectacularly.
lots of prob stats, i prepared using the greenbook, but I guess i didnt do as well as i thought i did
I also did some review of combinatorics and statistics, but still unsure about my performance
Fairly straightforward. The questions were pretty standard for the most part, similar to what you would see in other quant researcher interviews, maybe a bit more on the stats end
