I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
The first stage of the process is a written test, which covers stats and probability, programming, some finance. If you pass that you move on to the first round of technical interviews. There were a few questions about me and my motivations, but mostly maths, logic and programming questions. If you make it through the first round you are invited back for the next round which is really more of the same.
I believe there is a final round of interviews with senior management after the technical interviews, but I didn't get that far.
Overall I had a good experience, unfortunately I didn't get an offer, but everyone at G-research, in particular their internal recruiting team, was very friendly and helpful throughout the process, and they were kind enough to send me feedback after.

Question 1
I signed an NDA, but they supply example questions on their website which give you a good idea of what to expect.
Thank you for taking the time to give feedback on your experience with G-Research. Whilst we were not able to move you to the next stage of the interview process, we appreciate the time and effort you spent with us.
Other Quantitative Researcher Interview Reviews for G-Research
I applied online. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process consists of multiple stages with hard quantitative bars to be met. After CV screening, they send you their proprietary online assessment of 10 MC. Some questions seem unusual, some are intentionally tricky, but most are similar to standard quant brainteasers and you can pass if you have really grinded through standard material. Then, there is an online interview with a quant which will ask you technical questions in barrage. The bar probably depends on your answers' grades and how many questions you can answer. I did not expect some questions, so I was caught unprepared and I fumbled spectacularly.
lots of prob stats, i prepared using the greenbook, but I guess i didnt do as well as i thought i did
I also did some review of combinatorics and statistics, but still unsure about my performance
Fairly straightforward. The questions were pretty standard for the most part, similar to what you would see in other quant researcher interviews, maybe a bit more on the stats end
