First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Cutler Group LLC.
Quant Intern
I got connected with them at an on-campus career fair. After sending my resume, they responded in about two weeks with an online test. The test questions weren't too hard but required quick answers. Following the test, it took another two weeks for them to email me to set up a phone interview. The interviewer seemed friendly. They spent about 20 minutes introducing the company and then asked questions for around 30 minutes. The phone interview itself was pretty standard. Unfortunately, I never heard back after that, even though the interviewer mentioned they'd be in touch in a few weeks. I'm guessing I didn't get the position.
- There are XXX in the world, how many?
- How many XXX are there in this world? (XXX would be something you've never heard of.)
Quality Analyst
First, I had a phone screen where they asked one technical question at the very end. After that, I went for an onsite interview which consisted of a bunch of one on one meetings with different people from their team. Each person I talked to had their own way of interviewing and asked a lot of technical stuff. It was a good experience though, and each person made sure I had time to ask them questions at the end.
- What's the maximum amount you'd be willing to pay to play this game?
- Calculate the expected value of drawing a single card.
- Determine the expected value when drawing two cards, and so on.
Quantitative Analyst
I had a phone interview that lasted about 45 minutes. They asked me some questions related to finance and the market, specifically about options. It was a neutral experience, and thankfully there were no probability or mental math questions. A few days later, I received an email informing me they decided to move forward with candidates who had more experience.
- Could you explain what options are and the process of options making?
Quantitative Trader
They first asked some in-depth questions about my resume and background. Then came technical questions covering option greeks, probability, and gambling. There were also some general quant book questions, but phrased in a strange way. I didn't get any feedback afterward, so I assume I didn't make it through.
- How large is San Francisco?
