I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Point72 (New York, NY) in Dec 2020
Interview
I interviewed with the Firm on Dec 20 through campus. It's an absolute nightmare dealing with the HR representatives of the Market Intelligence team. Several other forums like Wallstretoasis and Reddit can attest this too.
They reach out asking to have a short call, then sent a Hackerrank and Video Interview round. After almost 2 weeks with no communication in middle, they reach out to set 2 phone interviews 30 mins each with the DS of the teams. After those interviews, I keep on reaching out to HR names Carly Mchugh about status but she never replied. Absolute horrible in the way she interacts with candidates. After almost a month got a mail we are not continuing with the process.
So people if you want to waste and like to get treat like a lowlife, move ahead with the process.
Exactly similar thing happened with everyone from my batch who got the initial interview call.
Hackerrank consisting of easy-medium SQL and coding leet code type questions followed by "behavioral interview" that is technical, followed by technical statistics round. Interviewer dove deep into my projects. Statistics round was straightforward (bayes rule etc.)
One of those pymetrics tests + wunderlic. Online Assesment, 1 SQL (easy), 2 leetcode mediums. Then virtual onsite with 3 interviewers. 1 Behavioral, 1 data case, 1 machine learning high level concepts.

Question 1
What happens to F-Statistic/T-statistic if you replicate the data?
1) 30 min call with recruiter 2) 90 min OA 3) 2 interviews with Data Scientists (1 behavioral + 1 technical) 4) week long case study + create a presentation 5) (onsite round) I was ghosted after my case study submission
The process is long. If you’re not 100% committed to the org + team, I wouldn't invest the time in the case study + presentation round. That said, the interviews themself were fair if you have a solid background in DS
