I was contacted by a recruiter who set up the interview process. First there is a written test to do at home and then a technical interviews with quants. I didn't move beyond that in the interview process.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at G-Research (München, Bayern) in Oct 2022
Interview
First, there's an online technical quiz to do, then you go straight into a 1hour online technical interview. The quiz was quite hard, I thought I had done terribly (I definitely got below 50% of questions correct), but still managed to pass to the next stage. Interviewer of the next stage was not particularly nice, after a quick introduction, he moved straight into questions, and left 5 minutes at the end for me to ask him questions about his job.

Question 1
5-part triage interview with questions about: - Machine Learning (very easy, e.g. explaining basic deep learning concepts such as batch normalization, SGD, etc) - Basic finance questions such as the meaning of a company's market capitalization. - Basic coding interview question - Linear algebra small problem - Statistics small problem
Reached first interview which was composed of a series of coding and statistics questions (bayes rule). The coding question was in Python and delt with data structures. They also asked about my previous experience in relation to maths/coding.
