J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Graham Capital Management
Entretien
Phone screen which was pretty easy. Round 1 interviews with 6 people to tech me out. Some easy, some hard, some seemed like they just wanted to show me how smart they were. Round 2 interviews with department managers (same as round 1) and CTO (pretty brief but direct questions.) Round 3 with CEO which seemed like it was just to see if I would be a fit (not technical at all.)
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Graham Capital Management (Rowayton, CT) en juin 2013
Entretien
Graham acted unethically and rescinded an employment offer; however, it was the best thing for me. Graham Capital proceeded to report losses of 5.9% in 2014 or $400 million in six funds. In a few words, "Stupid is as stupid does". Graham hires people who lack the necessary skills for the job, and they lost millions of dollars after my interview.
The interview process is needlessly long and does not identify talented individuals with the skills for success. This fact is proven through their inability to consistently return profits to their investors. The Wall Street Journal in "Summertime Living Isn't Easy for Macro Funds" derided Graham for their poor investment performance in 2014 and noted the termination of numerous employees.
Forrest Gump says it best: "Stupid is as Stupid Does." Graham should learn simple advice from Forrest Gump and act intelligently, thoughtfully and productively towards profitable investment. The recent Wall Street Journal press makes me more thankful that I never worked at Graham.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Graham Capital asks many questions about family and personal life which caught me off-guard and may have contributed to the failure of hiring me. I did not elaborate or reveal personal information as I sought a professional relationship
