I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at FINRA (Rockville, MD)
Interview
The interview covers anything you have on your resume. It usually involves a few rounds and you often are interviewed by different employees who have expertise in a given area against what your resume says. Anything on your resume is fair game -- and it is better to know it well and experientially rather than academically.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I forget the exact question-- but it was something about reordering a list in a particular manner (e.g. count the number of duplicate letters while arranging all the letters in alphabetical order). My understanding is that these types of questions are fairly common.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FINRA (New York, NY) in Dec 2023
Interview
Two hour interview of technical questions including Python, Numpy, and Pandas.
Some questions were very basic while others were very obscure.
There were two separate interviewers, one for each hour. They asked some overlapping questions.

Question 1
How do you reverse a list in Python without using the reverse method?
Application process was online and easy to navigate. I received an automated response the application was accepted. I received an immediate response from Human Resources that my application will be reviewed. Getting interviews with the hiring manager took a very long time.
