Our investment research, software and IT Systems are used to:

Our software and services are used in markets around the globe and around the clock.
We offer a dynamic, flexible and highly stimulating working environment, where good ideas are prized and rewarded correspondingly.
We offer employees the intellectual freedom to explore the best ideas in a team of like minded individuals.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 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.

No OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult InterviewG-Research 2017-05-11 08:19 PDTApplication
I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in May 2017.
Interview
The process began with a 90 minute exam. I can't disclose the details of this. Working my way through the suggested reading material seemed to prepare me quite well for it though.
I was informed a few hours afterwards that I had passed, and was invited back for a series of interviews with some of the current quants. These were friendly and challenging. Surprisingly, I was asked nothing about programming or finance. Most of the interviews were structured around stats and probability brainteasers.
I received an email the following day letting me know that I wasn't being offered an internship. I sent a polite email thanking them for the opportunity and asking for some feedback from my interviews, but I got no response. I'm disappointed by this, given the amount of time I'd put into preparing for and taking part in the interview process.
