Application
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Point72 (New York, NY) in Oct 2023
Interview
The OA has three questions, 1 sql with two joins, and 2 coding problems with any preferred language. For coding, one question is to find the number of triples in an array such that the sum is divisible by a given number d. The second question is given an array with elements of 2’s power (1, 2,4,8…), and a target value, return the minimum number of elements needed to sum to exactly the target value.
The interview process started with an online assessment focusing on probability, statistics, and basic coding. After passing the OA, I was invited to a superday consisting of multiple technical interviews that covered data analysis, modeling intuition, and problem-solving skills.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Point72 (New York, NY) in Nov 2025
Interview
The first round is a HackerRank online interview of 45 minutes with 5 questions. 2 SQL and 3 Python. The first two questions are quite easy but the last three are relatively challenging.
