I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England)
Interview
Had to carry out a test before any interview would take place. There is a contractual agreement not to talk about the questions asked, but the test is very fair. If you have studied what is recommended on their site, you will be okay.

Question 1
As above, there is a contractual agreement so I cannot give information. The practice test is helpful!
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Jan 2015
Interview
I got an "interview" through a recruitment agent, who informed me that the process was a written exam, then if you pass you go to a formal interview. I do not have a background in economics etc. so did not pass, so did not get a real interview. The people seemed nice, but they are clearly not interested in training people, so if you don't know the sorts of questions they have on their website don't bother. Besides, they don't offer to pay travel expenses.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Jun 2015
Interview
Given a 90 minute exam straight away on arrival. It was a mixture of maths, probability and computing topics. It was very tough and I had not prepared enough so I was shown the door as soon as I finished it. For those that pass, I believe it leads to several more face to face interviews that day.

Signed an NDA so cannot disclose the questions. There is a suggested reading list which is pretty comprehensive.
