Quantitative Analyst/Software Developer Intern Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I had one phone interview, which included a few math/CS questions.
I was then invited onsite, where there were five rounds of interviews and an off-the-record lunch discussion.
There were many probability and algorithmic questions. Knowledge of finance seemed to be a plus, but it wasn't necessary.
Everyone was very nice and helpful.
Questions
The most unexpected question was: how would you color a 3-colorable graph?
I was initially thinking that you had to do something efficient, which isn't possible. But he just wanted some way of doing it.
Was this helpful?
