G-Research Interview Questions

Reached first interview which was composed of a series of coding and statistics questions (bayes rule). The coding question was in Python and delt with data structures. They also asked about my previous experience in relation to maths/coding.

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.

The first Stage was doing an exam, with topics from Stats/Finance and a few brain teasers, but hich was relatively easy. The second stage was an interview, with a few brain teasers and a lot of theoretical questions about statistics asked.

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.

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".

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.

Multi-stage process: hackerrank, then 2 interviews. The hackerrank consisted both of programming and knowledge based problems, it was somewhat difficult. The two interviews were more difficult, taken with multiple members of software teams within G-Research.

The process consisted of some Online tests, and then 3 further stages of interviews, the first of which was online and then the other 2 were optionally remote or in-person. The interview was professionally ran, although it did take a while to receive the outcomes of each stage.

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.
