Interview
Multiple Rounds: - Online Assessment - Phone Interview #1 - Phone Interview #2 (got cut after #1) - Final Round I was asked not to disclose specific questions, but they asked Fermi estimation problems and difficult probability questions. If you are used to Quant Trading interviews, it is not much different. Got cut after Phone Interview #1, even though I thought I performed great. When I asked for an explanation, they said feedback was not part of their review process so that was disappointing.
Completed a simple data analysis written task and then was called in for an interview where they asked some typical consulting-style market sizing questions and another problem-solving type question. No questions about personal information were asked.
