I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Squarepoint Capital (New York, NY) in Aug 2022
Interview
First round asks questions about leetcode dynamic programming and ml problems. Second round asks about probability and brain teaser. Third round asks about statistics and ml questions like MSE and metrics.
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.
