Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Wealthfront nel mese di lug 2015
Colloquio
Phone screen with the recruiter, followed by technical phone screen with director of research. (I was not favorably impressed with her. She has a PhD in computer but surprisingly had less expertise in finance and statistics. There were also English language issues). The next step was to perform a data analysis exercise with a 24 hour time limit. It was a poorly designed exercise. Whoever wrote it up didn't understand the problem domain very well and was even less able to communicate the problem to be addressed. It was so poorly defined that I suspected it would be a waste of time, but was sufficiently interested in the company that I completed the project anyway. Several days later I got a terse note from the recruiter that they would not move forward, no feedback on my answer to their exercise.
The company offers an interesting service and has several good people on the team. But I'd be concerned about their marketing strategy and ability to remain competitive in the marketplace.

Colloquio
Three rounds of video interview (not in CA). One home assignment and onsite. Overall the interviewers are professional and asked great questions. The home assignment is really interesting, as you need to think through a portfolio construction problem and set up the optimization process by yourself.

Written application, then homework (6 diverse exercises, e.g. what kind of product should be added, coding exercises, theoretical exercises), then call with the research department. The call lasted round about one hour where I was challenged with some theoretical modeling exercises.
