I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Apr 2018
Interview
The company has been really flexible in scheduling the interview and covering the travel cost. The experience was pleasant and the entire process really short.
The recruiting process I went through:
-90 minutes written test, based on Math, Statistics, Coding, Finance and Machine Learning.
-If you pass the test you have an oral interview. It is based on your CV, your motivation and same arguments of the test. At the end of the oral part, you are asked to choose 3 out 5 topics (the one of the first test) for the following interviews.
-Did not get to the third stage.
Suggestion for candidates: do prepare carefully for it, refresh/study all the above-mentioned topics above and solve all the example problems.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Cannot share questions, you have to sign an anti-disclosure document before the interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process consists of multiple stages with hard quantitative bars to be met. After CV screening, they send you their proprietary online assessment of 10 MC. Some questions seem unusual, some are intentionally tricky, but most are similar to standard quant brainteasers and you can pass if you have really grinded through standard material. Then, there is an online interview with a quant which will ask you technical questions in barrage. The bar probably depends on your answers' grades and how many questions you can answer. I did not expect some questions, so I was caught unprepared and I fumbled spectacularly.
lots of prob stats, i prepared using the greenbook, but I guess i didnt do as well as i thought i did
I also did some review of combinatorics and statistics, but still unsure about my performance
Fairly straightforward. The questions were pretty standard for the most part, similar to what you would see in other quant researcher interviews, maybe a bit more on the stats end
