I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at WorldQuant in Mar 2016
Interview
I was noticed to have it at 930am one day. As soon as I start it, the interviewer keep saying my background does not fit BLA BLA, and trick me to say that I am looking for a quant research but not a developer. He said in the US, they only have developer position. And he thought I don't want to go to Asia for a researcher position. I am confused and pissed off. He just didn't want to interview me at all, but why sent me the email to set this up. Very unprofessional company. My worst experience. Its wasting both of our time.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at WorldQuant (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
Applied online. Contacted by recruiter. Interview was set up. The interviewer asked me a probability question. I answered it with confidence and the interviewer said it wasn't correct and was very adamant about it. So didn't really think on it too much but then moved on to python, sql and algorithm design questions, which were pretty straight forward. After the interview, I was curious to know the answer to the probability question, and I found out I did answer it correctly since it was a popular GMAT question. Thought it was a little unprofessional, and just lost interest in the company and didn't pursue further.
