J'ai passé un entretien chez G-Research (Londres, Angleterre)
Entretien
The 1st round is a 90 minute exam. Right now this is being done remotely. Approximately 15 people per day take this exam. The exam requires a lot of preparation in advance on a wide variety of topics such as finance, economics, probability, programming, etc.
The 2nd round was supposed to be a 1 hour interview covering the exam and my CV. However, no questions about the exam were asked and only one CV related question was asked. I found that this misinformation about the nature of this interview badly disrupted my preparation and chances. The interviewer was polite but quite unfriendly.
I can sympathise with comments from others mentioning silence from HR when you fall out of the process, which is rightly considered rude and unprofessional.
Bottom line is they are looking for the absolute best of the best, and you will likely waste many hours of your time unless you are that 1 guy in 10,000.

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
