I applied online. I interviewed at Susquehanna International Group (Sydney)
Interview
They move quite fast if you do well. After application, I got an OA, composed of 9 easy math questions that I solved all correctly within half of the time limit.
After passing OA, I got HR call. TBH, this is the most professional/pleasant HR interview I have encountered. HR asked 2 simple math problems with tons of follow up. I answered all within seconds except for one follow up within 2 minutes and thus failed.
I have worked on Sharpe 20+ strategies, but it looks SIG doesn't care a lot about experience. They care more about whether you can solve their math problems fast and correctly, which I don't think it's quite relevant to trading.

I interviewed at Susquehanna International Group (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
The first hurdle in SIG’s interview process is an online assessment administered through Mercer | Mettl. It tests knowledge in mathematics, probability, and statistics. The assessment combines puzzles and probability questions, along with topics like expected value, combinatorics, and logic. Overall, it follows the standard quant interview format — probability and statistics are the most critical areas to master before sitting the test.
An online math test testing topics such as probability theory, basic logics and word problems that you need to do in a relatively short time. I was not invited for further interviews
General question such as background and motivation then 2-3 math questions based on probability and expected value. Difficult than OA. But overall, it is managable if you have done a proper review.
