SUNRISE FUTURES Quantitative Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

I submitted my application online and heard back from a recruiter about a week later to set up two technical interviews. The second interview was contingent on passing the first. Even though I felt both interviews went well, I received a generic rejection email the following week. I was bummed, especially since I thought I warranted a personalized response after two interviews, but it was a template rejection with no feedback. Reaching out for feedback yielded no response.

The interviewer was super rude and impolite, like they were against me the whole time. They started with an easy coding question, which I solved fast. The interviewer sarcastically said, 'Oh you obviously prepared for that.' Then came a few basic probability questions. I usually think out loud, but they cut me off rudely, saying, 'you do not need to think out loud, just tell me the answer and that's all I care.' When I asked for clarification, they said, 'come on, you're a statistician.' Seriously the rudest interviewer I've ever met. Got rejected two weeks later, but honestly, I didn't want to work there anyway. Good thing I already got offers from companies I like better.

I applied through department, and then they set up an interview on campus. One senior quant researcher conducted the interview, and he was very nice. After 3 questions, he also answered some questions of myself.
