The senior members seemed very knowledgeable and confident, but the junior members of the team were less experienced and seemed less organized. Typical questions were brain teasers, didn't seem like they were trying to get to know who they would be working with
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard brain teasers-- study a book or go online looking for "quantitative analyst questions".
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cheiron Trading in Apr 2012
Interview
I did a phone interview where the guy asked some vague questions about what I have done recently, then asked me to go more in depth. After the that I was given the opportunity to ask a few questions about the position. The interviewer was quite rude throughout the call, interrupting me when I was explaining my work and asking questions.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cheiron Trading (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2012
Interview
I was offered a phone interview with Cheiron Trading after applying to a position on my universities job board. It was a basic generic phone screening as asking about why I am interested in prop trading and really just going over your resume and describing it in more detail. Nothing too indepth. The interview was very uninterested in it and awkward with the way he worded some questions. Read the job description thoroughly.
