I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Squarepoint Capital (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
The interviewer was kind, but gave a very hard, dynamic programming task which I could not solve and spent a lot of time on it. Afterwards, he gave a relatively easy probability theory problem, which I could not solve because I was so exhausted and stressed. I did not get any feedback from the company.
