I interviewed at Squarepoint Capital (London, England)
Interview
Very well formatted, interviewers were respectful and asked reasonable difficulty questions (standard quant trader questions) that tested probability, statistics, and also general brain teasers. The interviewers were also very nice and explained their career choices well, as well as the firm.
