I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Mar 2018
Interview
Applied online and was invited to come take a 90 minute in-house aptitudes test.
The person handling me did not reply to emails for about 2 months, although I reached out by mail and LinkedIn. Eventually, she reached back out to tell me that my application to quant internship was turned into a data science application and this is the position I would be interviewing for. Regardless of this incident/delay, the process was relatively smooth and the people there were very nice.
Hackerrank test followed by 2x in-person 45min technical interviews. These consisted of whiteboarding an algorithmic solution to a typical DSA problem and solving a probability based question. One of the interviewers came into the room with no shoes on and sat cross-legged in the chair for most of it…

Some nice general questions about algorithims, machine learning, and my graduate educational experience. Unfortunately I was not offered the position. They seem like an interesting company, doing quantitative financial research.
