I have taken the online exam. The online exam is a bit baffling because most of the problems I don't think can be solved by brainstorming in 6 minutes. They were kind of problems that would take days or weeks even to come up with an answer. And one of the problems I would know for a fact is flawed so that there really is no answer without a qualifying statement. (I suppose I wouldn't even get a thanks for pointing that out.)
Anyways, they ask you these semi puzzle questions that are supposed to be mathematical in nature, but I'm not sure if it would help them find someone that would deliver performance. Does anybody know what the firm's AUM is or what the performance has been inception to date? Is it better than the index? I would really like to know.

Screening -> Online tests in math (many problems on a variety of topics) and programming (3 easy problems on data parsing and filling in gaps) -> 3 technical interviews (math, programming, and DS/finance), usually a few simple warm-up questions and 2 more difficult problems to test the depth of knowledge -> interviews with teams, talk about your experience, scientific work, then questions related to the specifics of the team you are applying for, you need to come up with hypotheses about the data -> rejection
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The team interview included questions from the Green Book. The questions from other stages were unique but fairly straightforward, with the exception of one that asked about knowledge of mathematical induction.

There were 5 rounds in total. It began with a 30-question math assessment on HackerRank, followed by two face-to-face interviews focused on probability. Next, I completed a 24-hour take-home test and presented my findings. The process concluded with a final interview with a manager to assess cultural fit.
