      GResearch-Presents-ScottAaronson by G-Research

      What if a new type of computer existed which, in seconds, could solve problems that take today's fastest supercomputers years?

    G-Research – Why Work For Us?

    G-Research is a leading quantitative research and technology company. We use scientific techniques, big data and world-class technology to predict future movements in financial markets, and develop the platform to deploy these ideas globally.

    Based in the heart of Central London, we are served by 5 stations and 6 tube lines, with the closest station Goodge Street within seconds of the office. Being situated in the vibrant West End means you are in walking distance of many top London attractions and shopping districts.


    We are always looking to expand our Quantitative Analyst, Software Development & IT Infrastructure teams. We often have other positions open that can be seen on our vacancies page.

    Here we give very talented people the freedom to explore the best ideas and turn them into reality within a team of like-minded others. You'll work with inspirational people, applying science to real world problems in a relaxed yet dynamic environment. And get paid for doing it.

    We offer an exceptional employee package which includes top private healthcare and an annual discretionary bonus. The social aspect of the company includes team weekends away, theatre evenings, dinners, Christmas parties and a Summer Ball. Many employees also participate in lunchtime runs through Regent Park, 5 a side football and cricket.

    Our working environment is positive and informal, with no dress code, and people are judged on the quality of their work. There is also a lively social side to the company, with regular sponsored events, football games and weekends away.

    We are based just off Tottenham Court Road in the vibrant West End. This means that a short walk will take you to Oxford Street, Theatreland, Leicester Square, the British Museum, Regents Park or even St Pancras International ahead of a weekend in Paris! After work there are pubs galore, and those wanting more than a quick drink can head to Soho which is on our doorstep. What's more there are three tube lines within five minutes of the office – you really couldn't ask for a better location.

      Neutral Experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at G-Research.

      Interview

      I applied online on 21st July. Received preparation material on 26th July, which include probability theory, martingales (stopping times), Markov processes (gambling problems), ordinary least squares regression, estimation theory, modern portfolio theory (CAPM and APT) and C++ (operator overloading and backtracking); however, none of the links to the lecture notes worked. I contacted G-Research on 26th July via email and jobvite.com, and 11th August via phone to inquire about the progress of the application, yet no reply. As a result I made a fresh application on 17th August, hopefully this time I'll get a interview.
