I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Point72 in Feb 2025
Interview
A case study comparing two similar companies followed by a online technical screen of super basic math questions and three interviews: One with HR, one with an Academy coach, and one with a PM. Almost entirely behavioral/fit questions with the exception of a review of the case study and "pitch me a stock" with some pretty in-depth questions about your choice. Mostly about why I wanted to work at Point72/a hedge fund rather than anywhere else and my background and interests. Everyone was super nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pitch me a stock and tell me why the market is wrong about it.
first round with HR, second round with a few investment professionals at the firm, final round with academy director (ex portfolio manager i think) which was a case debrief and explanation
I applied online. I interviewed at Point72 (New York, NY) in Jul 2024
Interview
1st round is HR screening with behavioural/fit questions (why L/S investing, why Point72, etc). 2nd round focuses on case study and also a long/short stock pitch on a company of your choice.
