I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at AKUNA CAPITAL (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2017
Interview
The role was for a C++ development internship role in their Chicago, IL office. The experience was good. Good communication; the person was a developer himself and told me a bit about the Akuna Trading platform which was pretty interesting. This was in the phone interview - I didn't go through to the final round.

Interview
They ask difficult questions but, given the role they seemed fair. They are painfully slow about the process and I wasn't able to attend the final round interview due to a job deadline I had informed them about, which I had to commit to since they did not reach back soon enough. Later they informed me they'd like to continue but it was too late lol.
