I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in May 2017
Interview
The process began with a 90 minute exam. I can't disclose the details of this. Working my way through the suggested reading material seemed to prepare me quite well for it though.
I was informed a few hours afterwards that I had passed, and was invited back for a series of interviews with some of the current quants. These were friendly and challenging. Surprisingly, I was asked nothing about programming or finance. Most of the interviews were structured around stats and probability brainteasers.
I received an email the following day letting me know that I wasn't being offered an internship. I sent a polite email thanking them for the opportunity and asking for some feedback from my interviews, but I got no response. I'm disappointed by this, given the amount of time I'd put into preparing for and taking part in the interview process.

Other Quantitative Researcher Interview Reviews for G-Research
I applied online. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process consists of multiple stages with hard quantitative bars to be met. After CV screening, they send you their proprietary online assessment of 10 MC. Some questions seem unusual, some are intentionally tricky, but most are similar to standard quant brainteasers and you can pass if you have really grinded through standard material. Then, there is an online interview with a quant which will ask you technical questions in barrage. The bar probably depends on your answers' grades and how many questions you can answer. I did not expect some questions, so I was caught unprepared and I fumbled spectacularly.
lots of prob stats, i prepared using the greenbook, but I guess i didnt do as well as i thought i did
I also did some review of combinatorics and statistics, but still unsure about my performance
Fairly straightforward. The questions were pretty standard for the most part, similar to what you would see in other quant researcher interviews, maybe a bit more on the stats end
