I applied online. I interviewed at Marshall Wace in Jun 2021
Interview
Coding challenge then onsite for full day. In the on site assessment they had some work as a team exercise with 15 people and a few semi technical questions. Group exercise was badly organised and technical question was also badly worded and confusing
OA -> hr screening -> lab test/interview -> project interview -> presentation -> at least 3 technical rounds (have to pass one before getting the next round) -> hiring manager interview
Got rejected after lab test
The second stage consists of several programming challenges (6 in total) - and 4 multiple choice questions. The questions require skills with file reading, input management and some systems level thinking, so Leetcode alone is insufficient. They warn you that some questions cannot be solved in your language of choice, but don't worry about learning a new language, those questions are more 'deciphering code' questions - you aren't really ever asked to code in a language that is not of your choosing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One technical question asked you to scan through a set of intervals to detect overlaps. Another asked you to write code that processed a css, gracefully dealing with corrupted data.
Algorithmic question coded live with 2 people on the call. Interviewers not very supportive and aloof, even though I did pretty well with the task the interview was cut short for unknown reasons.
