Candidate-reported interview process
Got a call from HR after my resume was picked. The first round was a technical interview where they asked mostly python programming questions and had me code while sharing my screen. The difficulty was average.
I had one round with the head of the quant research team. There are multiple rounds next week with each of the team members, about 4 of them. The interviews will include stats/prob problems and behavioral questions.
Had 2 calls, first with HR which was mostly behavioral, then a second one with a DM that was mostly technical. Very smooth and well organised. Overall great process.
