Point72 Interview Questions

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Point72 in March 2013.

Interview

Telephone interview -- typical tech interview, seeking to assess technical knowledge in various areas. However, they also required a technical assignment be completed in c# programming language. This took somewhat more time that expected.
The recruiter feedback indicated that the interviewer felt I had done well but wanted me to agree more with his ideas rather than discuss alternative approaches.

Resume was submitted by external recruiter. A few teams asked to set up a 1 hour phone screen. The phone screen started off with an informal description of the team and job and also of my background.

Met with HR and several Hiring Managers. Mostly personality questions but also asked questions about the market and trivial questions to get an idea on how you think and where your interests are. Asked standard questions such as how you work with people and what your strengths and weaknesses are.
