      Software Engineer Interview

      17 Nov 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at WorldQuant in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Was sent a hackerrank challenge containing 3 coding questions and 2 multiple choice questions. After I passed the interview recruiter reached out to arrange a video chat with an engineer. In the video chat we talked about an irrelevant math course I took. The interviewer constantly interpreted what I said the wrong way to make himself sound superior. Like when I said that in Calculus we don't prove most of the theorems he said to me so you just believe in things without proofs or when I said that I would prefer dealing more with systems than UI he said so you don't care about the users experience. He was really toxic and arrogant in my opinion. I have interviewed in many other places including other hedge funds and everywhere else people have been friendly towards me so I think this shows how bad Worldquant's culture is. I also had a friend who did an on site with them and he said his experience was similar to mine.
