      Summer Academy Analyst Interview

      15 Nov 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Point72 (New York, NY) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      first wonderlic test, and pre-recorded hirevue interview, and then a live video interview. The pre-recorded interview is easy. You have 1:30 to prepare and 2:30 to answer, and you can record twice for each question if you are not satisfied with the first answer. For the live video interview, it was 45-minute long. Some fit questions, and questions about financial markets. Also three mental maths questions at the end. The interviewer was busy typing the whole time during my interview. I think she's busy doing her own work while interviewing me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a recent M&A deal that you can confidently discuss. What do you do for fun? How do you deal with setbacks?

      Thank you for providing feedback on our process. During interviews, our interviewers type detailed notes of the conversation in real time, in order to make sure we are making careful and thoughtful decisions on candidates when we review interview feedback later on. We do apologize for giving you the impression that our interviewer was working on unrelated things during the interview with you. We'll make a point of emphasizing to future interviewees that our interviewers may type during the interview but that it's all part of the process! Jonathan Jones Director, Investment Talent Development - Point72 Asset Management

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Point72 in Feb 2025

      Interview

      A case study comparing two similar companies followed by a online technical screen of super basic math questions and three interviews: One with HR, one with an Academy coach, and one with a PM. Almost entirely behavioral/fit questions with the exception of a review of the case study and "pitch me a stock" with some pretty in-depth questions about your choice. Mostly about why I wanted to work at Point72/a hedge fund rather than anywhere else and my background and interests. Everyone was super nice.

      Question 1

      Pitch me a stock and tell me why the market is wrong about it.
