I applied online. I interviewed at Point72 in Aug 2019
Interview
I answered Hackerrank test and then was asked to complete a project. Before they send me the project a phone interview happened.
The interviewer was not aware that the hackerrank test was already done and a project already asked. Seems the HR and interviewer didn't share the recruitment process.

Question 1
Quite weird questions. Asked me how many CPU cores in the cluster I used and if you can install a batch system. Nothing related to Quantitative Researcher Intern but more like for software engineer.

Interview
Very technical based for multiple rounds (6+) focusing on calculus, probability, stats, and a few brain teasers. There is a coding test at the end, where you are given a certain time frame to submit back.
Introducing yourself, and went deep on past project experience, the interviewer went quite deep on describing those projects. Followed by two tech questions. Both questions are about probabilities and stats.

Hr Interview then Meeting with a QR; Not very difficult, but they tend to ask questions in OLS or Coding. And they valued previous experiences in the related fields. Not a good experience.
