I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Point72 (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
It is a 30 mins interview with a recruiter online. Before that, I need to finish a case study (a basic build your start-up one that involves building your own financial model) and a questionnaire (why you want to participate). There are a lot of candidates so my recruiter is very tired when interviewing me. But overall it was a great experience.

Question 1
Do you follow the market?

What greatest benefit you can get from it?
What courses you have taken at college that further your understanding of investment?
Many steps, had case study with 1 week to present followed by case study debrief and follow up interviews with different portfolio managers and HR folks. all went pretty quick and organized
Case study, HR interview, coach interviews. Had most experiences with the case as i applied to the role a couple times. The case would required you to do a stock pitch within 7 days including modeling from scratch and a 5-page writeup.
I applied online and then completed the case study. I made it to the first 15-min round with the recruiter, but was rejected after that. If I was more prepared, I would have been fine. Make sure you read up on recent market news and a stock to pitch.
