I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Winton Group (Oxford, England) in Oct 2014
Interview
Phone interview with head of HR followed by a face-to-face in the London office. This was personality/background orientated followed by a half our accounting task. Final interview in the Oxford office which consisted of two interviews with fairly senior staff. First was more conversational, asking you quick fire questions about finance related topics. Second was with two interviewers who guided you through answering brainteaser type questions with a focus on probability.
