I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at G-Research (New York, NY) in Jul 2023
Interview
The interview process with G-Research went very well from my perspective. There were multiple rounds of interviews and some of the questions were quite difficult but what really stood out to me in the interview process was when I finished the object oriented design interview and the interviewer spent the last 5 minutes pair programming with me and talking about ways I could make my code even better. It was a really green flag which in part showed the collaborative nature of the firm and was part of the reason I eventually accepted an offer to join their team.

Question 1
There were several rounds of interviews including Object Oriented Design, Algorithms, and System Design. Some of them typical questions you find on interview prep but some of them were unique questions I had never been asked before.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in Mar 2021
Interview
The interview had four rounds:
1st round was an hour long - 30 minutes of computer science fundamentals, followed by 30 minutes of pair programming in the language of my choice.
2nd round was two hours long - an hour of solving an algorithmic task (not too difficult), followed by an hour of solving a software architecture task with emphasis on OOP.
3d round was an hour long and featured a high-level system design task (can't exactly remember which task but I believe it was designing a chat system).
4th round was a non-technical talk about my goals and motivations with the manager of the team I had been matched with.
Totally unprofessional hiring team. Lack of effective communication and understanding of candidate's time. I would not recommend this place to anyone honestly. It took forever to get update regarding anything and they do not officially inform you of decisions made.
