Trexquant Investment Data Scientist interview experience

We covered general questions about why I wanted to work there, and then we jumped into a pair coding assessment that was a bit hard. The main expectation was that I explain my thought process clearly while coding.

It was only one round, so there wasn’t much time for the process to broaden into other topics. I didn’t get an offer, and the honest takeaway for me was that the whole thing came down to how I performed under pressure while talking through my reasoning, not just whether the code worked.
