I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PIMCO in Sep 2020
Interview
Applied on company website； contacted by HR for phone screen interview
I don't think they really wanna hire people, just ask for the strategy; And they just go straight forward to the strategy part even without self-introduction. I didn't want to talk that much in detailed about the strategy, they seem to lost their interest.
Very rude and arrogant. Unpleasant experience. :)

Really smooth. The interviewer is very nice. I really appreciated how friendly and professional they were during the interview. It helped me feel more comfortable and confident in discussing my qualifications.
Super nice interviewers. They are willing to give hints. 30 min interviews with behavioral questions and technical questions including probability, portfolio optimization, and option pricing. Due to covid, it's now remote for interviewing.
