I applied online. I interviewed at DRW in Oct 2020
Interview
Very difficult interview where you are grilled on your cv in particular the numerical parts of it. Then you are asked two brain teaser questions, one I had was to do with long run probability and the other was the envelope question. overall very difficult interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at DRW (Singapore) in Sep 2023
Interview
The first stage was a take-home technical assessment containing a single programming question. While I was given almost 2 hours to solve the problem, I solved it in slightly under 30 minutes, and spent the rest of the time being paranoid about whether my answer was sensible.
The second stage was a pleasant informal call with HR.
The third stage was a video call with two quant trading analysts, who asked some simple probability and statistics questions. I fumbled and didn't get to proceed any further.
