I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Marshall Wace (London, England) in Feb 2015
Interview
It was a generally light interview, they mainly asked about past experience, what I was doing now, why I wanted to work for them. Pretty basic. However, it took them two months to get back to me and finally told me they went with someone else.
Fairly straightforward take home test. They give you 1 hour to complete it and you can complete it on excel and select from MCQ options. Make sure you have excel and a keyboard. Having two screen is a bonus

Question 1
Basic math calculation but with time constraints can be stressful
Nice interview with a lovely person who asked about my past experiences, including ways I have faced challenges, worked in teams and communicated with people. I did not get through to the next stage but I hope to work with them in the future.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a difficult challenge.
Proceed with OA but the latency is extremely high. Lagging for coding can be near 2 seconds. and it severely affects the experience. It seems that their OA server is overseas.
