Application Process & Interviews at Quantium

Two rounds of interviews. First was a behavioural interview with HR/recruiter. The second was a technical interview with 2 Senior Engineers.

Interview consisted of 2 sets of online tests, an online interview, and then an online case study

Resume submission, standard technical quiz, HR interview, then technical interview.

Interview process was good and had an emphasis on real-world problem solving as opposed to leetcode-style assessments.

Interview process was less involved than typical market. Less rounds of in person interview. 1st round of coding questions (online assessment). 2nd round basic HR behavioural interview 3rd round Engineering interview (1hr) of 1 Coding Question + Systems Design

Interview process was very quick, which is a good thing. First contact to final assessment took around 2 weeks. An offer letter followed within the month. There was aptitude testing, a technical assessment testing critical thinking and an interview.

There were a couple of interviews, one non-technical and one-technical. There was a virtual assessment Aswell which was a simple 10 question quiz if I recall.

Interview process was straightforward. An initial online application and assessment (I think) and two interviews, one more casual and one technical.

0. Submit resume 1. Basic arithmetic test 2. Behavioural interview - asked about motivations to join Quantium, knowledge of Quantium's competitors and clients 3. Case study interview Done!

there was a test to begin with, then an interview with people and culture, then an interview with an analyst and a case study.

Written application with submission of a resume. After that, there's an online test that assesses your ability to interpret data. After that, if successful, there's an interview with the graduate recruitment team, where candidates are about what they know about Quantium, some behavioural questions and what they hope to get out of the program. Finally, if successful, there's a technical test that assesses a (little bit) deeper understanding of technical concepts while also interpreting/analysing data in a client-context. After the test there's a short interview with an analyst, where you explain your answers/rationale.

Initial Interview to better understand the candidate, followed by a case study with an analyst

- Gamified Assessment - HR Interview - Analytical Interview

Every applicant completes a basic maths test, then successful applicants have a behavioural interview. Finally, the technical interview (for analysts) involved receiving some data points and images, with 1 hour to work through some questions, then discussed these immediately following

Very quick in 4 stages: Resume, online assessment, behavioural interview and technical interview. The whole process takes 1.5 months for me which is very fast.

there is first a basic quiz which if you did high school statistics you could pass, then a interview with the basic questions to make sure you are a good cultural fit, then a longer case study which after you go through your answers with a senior analyst to explain your thinking. They are looking for good problem solving and a willingness to learn

Three stages: 1. Timed coding quiz 2. Behavioural interview 3. Technical interview (no live coding, discussing your approach to a problem)

Behavioural phone interview, an online quiz, another online quiz + follow up verbal discussion with a team member. Quantium provides an interview pack which outlines the process and the kinds of questions asked.

In the behavioural interview, it was just generic behavioural questions (e.g. "What do you know about the company?"). In the technical interview, we worked through some coding questions, and then worked on solving a larger problem (e.g. how you would implement a board game application

- What do you do for fun - What are your special interests

Pretty standard questions about statistics and data analytics. Overall it was very conversational and they were happy to let me lead the conversation.

How would you structure an application for an online tic-tac-toe game?

Describe this piece of Code Explain this system and how you would design it

Questions in the interview were fairly standard. Included things like naming strengths, describing a time you overcame conflict within the workplace and answering questions about the company and clients.

For the technical interview I was asked to design and implement a software solution for the game connect-4. For the non-technical it was mostly a conversation.

In the first interview was asked about the company and my interests and then in the second interview was asked about preference for frontend/backend and a few different either specifically coding questions or language agnostic theoretical coding question.

- Given graphs and tables of performance for a product, interpret them and compute some metrics (formulas are given) - There is a section on understanding when to use a specific type of ML/statistical model and whether the situation in the case study is appropriate.

Questions about your approach to data analytics and about your personal life to see if you're a cultural fit

Standard personality questions

Why Quantium, where do you see yourself in X years quite standard interview questions I don't exactly remember since I did it over 2 years ago

Why you want to join? What makes you different? Analytical Qs: How did you come to this answer?

Basic maths, where do you see yourself if 5 years, why quantium / how did you hear about us

Why do you want to work in Quantium? How would you handle stress and challenges in workplace. General programming and computer science questions.

Just some usual qns

Wouldn't recommend and special preparation other than the stuff you'd do for every other interview (why do you want to work here etc etc)

Being capable of presenting analytical findings and be familiar with standard statistical analysis and summaries such as normalization and prevalence.

It's good to have a few projects in hand where you have demonstrated ability across the tech stack -- from frontend to backend.

For the coding questions, brush up on Frontend / SQL Systems Design - practice with a friend for this.

Research the company. Look at its history, current clients and work it does.

Brush up on your non-technical skills, be relaxed. I would make sure you've done your homework at uni and had a go at implementing real projects before doing the technical interview.

Research the company, decide what you are interested in (front end or back end), do a few coding puzzles, the questions were not particularly difficult.

- Know how to research

For the cultural interview be yourself and be interesting - don't just focus on uni and work. For the analyst interview, be authentic too. Answer what you can and be honest about what you don't know.

Chat to people already working at the company - and ask meaningful questions you can get unique insights from. Do a few numerical psychometric tests to get a little bit of a feel for the tests.

Come with an open mind and a positive attitude

Be normal. Practice interview questions so 1. you have an idea of what to say 2. boost your confidence. Being able to articulate yourself well and confidently is key in any corporate workplace.

- Always make sure to prepare the response in your mind before rambling, whether this be for the HR behavioural interview or the analytical one. Explaining the reasoning is the key metric that can show your skillset but also your personality.

Be confident explaining your thought process

Show your enthusiasm and interest to work in Quantium. Research about the company. Rehearse your data structure, algorithm and problem solving skills.

Be yourself. Quantium is interested in you as a person and supporting your growth.

Be comfortable explaining your thought process and asking questions + learn about the company values, clients, etc. prior to the interview

There's a podcast that's helpful.

I think just be yourself (cliche I know)
