I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tudor Investment Corporation
Interview
The interviewer wanted me to walk through past research in detail. Questions were soft and surface-level — more about describing past work than any real technical discussion. The interviewer didn't seem to come in prepared.
Other reviews say the same thing — lots of "describe your best strategy" questions, not much else. Be careful how much you share

Interview
I interviewed for several months with the Pipeline group: multiple online interviews, several coding tests, and even an onsite round (super-day). Unfortunately, the process felt like a waste of time. After investing months, I never received any feedback; communication just stopped.
Many of the interview questions focused on describing detailed strategies I had built previously (“describe the strategy that made the most money,” “tell us how it works”), which gave the impression they were more interested in gathering ideas than assessing skills.
Overall, it came across as unprofessional and disorganized. From conversations with other candidates, this seems to be a recurring pattern. I would advise future applicants to be cautious and manage expectations.
