I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Susquehanna International Group (New York, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
I applied online in the fall and received OA round, 60 min of quite difficult math stats and prob problems. Thought I did poorly but received follow-up interview request. Phone interview with quant recruiter asked 3 probability problems, not very difficult. Had next round with recruiter and was told I would be expected to work in PA for at least a year, and would not be able to start for 6+ months. Was pressured to choose between researcher and trader, with the HR recruiter pushing me towards trader. This interview was awkward and left a pretty negative impression on me. Received impersonal rejection notice afterwards that SIG would not be continuing with my application. I felt frustrated and disappointed with how they handled my application process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
9 white cubes arranged into 3x3 cube and outside surface painted green. Randomly select one cube and roll it. If side facing up is white, what is the probability that this was the middle cube?
I interviewed at Susquehanna International Group (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
The first hurdle in SIG’s interview process is an online assessment administered through Mercer | Mettl. It tests knowledge in mathematics, probability, and statistics. The assessment combines puzzles and probability questions, along with topics like expected value, combinatorics, and logic. Overall, it follows the standard quant interview format — probability and statistics are the most critical areas to master before sitting the test.
An online math test testing topics such as probability theory, basic logics and word problems that you need to do in a relatively short time. I was not invited for further interviews
General question such as background and motivation then 2-3 math questions based on probability and expected value. Difficult than OA. But overall, it is managable if you have done a proper review.
