      Quantitative Researcher Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Two Sigma

      Interview

      Extremely disappointing experience. The first interview was coding, and I solved everything and it went well. The second was data analysis, and it was the worst interview of my life. The interviewer just wanted to humiliate me. He started by mentioning that one of the numbers in my resume is too good to believe, and hence he'll give me a negative point. After that, tried to prove another project I did is 'not significant', FYI, It is a competition where people won $100k award. After that, asked a few questions, interrupted while I answered, and demanded that I accept that 'I'm wrong' without letting me finish the answer. To give an example, when I mentioned MSE loss function doesn't work well with outliers he tried to prove MSE is the best, and outliers won't matter. Lastly mentioned that since I couldn't complete answering all the questions he had in the given 25 mins time,(because i was answering the follow-ups he had on every question) he'll give me negative feedback. When I asked about work, he just said he won't tell because of privacy, not even about the team culture, and higher-level work. I've heard that Two Sigma canceled a lot of interviews this year but didn't expect that they'd conduct such an interview. I've interviewed with Citadel, Point-72, and such firms and none of them behaved in this manner. Extremely unprofessional behavior.

      Application

      I interviewed at Two Sigma

      Interview

      I interviewed on zoom with three different interviewers. The first was talking to a recruiter about interview processes and why I am applying and going over my resume. The second was with a quant researcher about my resume, past research and domain knowledge and technical questions. The third round was with another quant researcher about past research and some more technical questions. I didn't proceed after that.

      I interviewed at Two Sigma

      Interview

      The interview process typically starts with conversations with team members, followed by three rounds of technical interviews focused on data analysis, coding, and statistics. Each round includes follow-up questions that probe deeper into the candidate’s reasoning, methodology, and ability to apply concepts under realistic problem-solving scenarios.

      I interviewed at Two Sigma (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Interview mostly consisted of conceptual ML questions and general experience, with no coding. The interviewer was super nice, but they were looking for more experienced candidates, which my years of experience didn’t quite qualify me for.
