I applied online. I interviewed at QuαntPORT (New York, NY)
Interview
Did an online test with classical probability questions and brain teasers, followed by an on site interview. It seems that they do not really want to hire people. They just want to learn your alpha model or strategies or any investment ideas. Not recommend.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Classical questions in Heard on the street or A Practical Guide to Quantitative Finance Interviews. Some algorithm questions from leetcode.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at QuαntPORT (New York, NY) in Oct 2019
Interview
I used to work as a quant at a successful macro fund. The quantport interviewers kept trying to get the specific details of the quant model from me, which I was under NDA not to disclose. I told them that, and yet they persisted. I left the interview after they made it clear they did not respect professional boundaries.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at QuαntPORT (New York, NY) in Jun 2019
Interview
A phone screening with HR, followed by online test (correlationOne), and then onsite interviews with a bunch of people. They are in a really old building. I still need more words to complete thirty words limit.

Question 1
General statistics/probability question and some questions about alpha research. The firm hasn't made money in two years, but expanding rapidly(there is something wrong there). Firm management predates American Revolution and seemed clueless how to hire. After the process was finished, I came out with a bad taste in my mouth . Stay away they won't be around for too long.
