I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WorldQuant (Changping, Beijing) in Nov 2011
Interview
The WorldQuant is moving their research group from NYC to some Asian developing countries where they found people there can work out high performance with relevant low human cost. Let us talk about the hiring process. They collected the resumes and sent invitations to some people they interested in for Round 1 paper test. They will get in touch with the people they are willing to move forward. After this it is several rounds of telephone interviews, all brain teasers or classical probability problems. And finally you met with a senior manager as the AC part. Good luck to you guys.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some tricky probability problems, you should get well prepared to crack them down.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at WorldQuant in Nov 2025
Interview
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

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.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at WorldQuant (Ho Chi Minh City)
Interview
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.
Very hard interview, I suggest you to study hard linear algebra statistics probability and more more more more because again it is hard very hard and I need to hit word qouata here
