I was in the interview process for The Voleon Group before they went dark on me two weeks ago. Anyone know how they’re doing right now?
"On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero"
Some mid/low frequency firms have been doing quite poorly lately due to market conditions. Voleon could’ve slipped into that group. They could also just not want to deal with the logistics of virtual interviews for now.
I had an interview with them recently, passed but do not recommend. 1. All interviewers were late for like 15 mins 2. One was completely unprepared 3. Wanted to get a reference from the current job before giving the numbers (WTF, this is the first time I have seen this) 4. Took ~2 month to reimburse expenses (probably would ignore me if I would not ping them every week)
I’ve got a friend at Voleon and they love it. It’s a good place for nerdy folks and they tend to hire hardcore math/stats/science people.
Even for swe
Hey @zerohedge - message me at mdavis@voleon.com and I will check on the status of your application. A recruiter left our team recently and I'd be happy to get back to you with an update. Marcy
I heard they were legit from a post-doc I worked with. ML heavy - is this a QR role?
