I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Squarepoint Capital
Interview
They don't keep interviewers' information in good hands and everyone in the firm can access your profile. My interviewer bragged about who they interviewed and my current colleagues know I'm interviewing.
Process involves 3 x 1 hour virtual interviews that will cover basic probability/stats/coding tasks, passing this there is an in person day with a more involved challenge and presentation to team. Final HR style interview will only happen all this and one should expect 2-3 weeks between interviews.
