Initially a smooth process. At the second round they said it would have been just a talk about future rounds, but it was instead a technical interview. This is why I don't give thumbs up to the process.

I enjoyed the interview process and would recommend applying. They were kind and thoughtful throughout the process and gave me lots of opportunities to understand the company and role. The interviews were relatively tough, with back-to-back interviews for 4.5hrs.

InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at G-Research in Mar 2022
Initial online assessment 1h long. Stats, probably, finance and programming questions. Then another assessment with questions with an employee. To this another interview would have followed on macro topics you could select among a given choice.
Interview Questions
- There's an NDA to sign. My guess is that questions are standard across quant positions

InterviewI applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at G-Research in Feb 2022
Passed the first-round interview then waited almost 3 weeks just to hear that there are no teams interested in hiring. Why waste my time interviewing me then if no team was hiring? I guess the first round is just a virtual "OA".
Interview Questions
- Cannot disclose due to NDA

InterviewI applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Jan 2022
Exchanges a lot of emails with the recruiters. They replied pretty late without much notice. The recruiters here are less professionals than other recruiters from typical companies in tech space. The second stage is the live proctored written exam. I don't know how hard the exam would be yet but I imagined it would be some college math level.

- What are your current research topics?

Overall very organised. The wait to take an assessment was at least a month, due to the high number taking place at the time. The requirements in mathematics etc. were quite reasonable for the role.
