Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso DRW (Montréal, QC) nel mese di gen 2019
Colloquio
Applied online, through their website. They got back to me after several weeks.
First step was a Python test. 30 minutes. Pretty easy if you are familiar with Python and programming.
Next step was 20 minute chat with HR. Usual stuff. Walk through CV.
Third step was a take home project. This was quite involved. Should take several hours. It was a Python project.
Finally, on-site interview with team. They flew me to Montreal. And they reimburse any travel costs (taxi, Uber, etc.). The on-site was a bit challenging for me. They asked some technical questions. They will give a scenario, and you have to describe your thought process for how you would approach analysing the scenario.

Zoom Video Interview
This interview lasted ~1hr with a junior Quantitative Trader.
Was asked Bayesian probability, Markov Chains, motivations for DRW, why I am a good fit for the job.
Application online, OA, screening call. did not make it past the screening call with HR rep so cannot speak to rest of process but first 3 were fairly straightforward and not too hard at all

Colloquio
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.
