I applied online. I interviewed at Marshall Wace (London, England)
Interview
Easy and quick. CV, HR call and then offer for insight day but I didn't get through because I didn't have enough quant knowledge or experience. They prefer people with tech, physics and maths degree which I had but wasn't focused on quant.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why quant? What do you know about Marshall Wace? Do you know Matlab?
Typical behaviour questions and projects explanation with cs knowledge. Explain in depth and lots of follow up questions. Takes 1 hour for the interview. Lots of rounds and I have to present my prior work about tech and do well on coding as well.
The interview was on Zoom, and the interviewer was very nice. They created a comfortable atmosphere and explained how the interview would work. We discussed my background and experiences, and they asked follow-up questions.
