I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied online. Invited to take online coding test (three questions). First question is to tell if you can actually code (eg compute nth Fibonacci number). Subsequent questions were a bit harder but manageable, emphasizing minimizing space and time complexity.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In a 2D array of integers, adjacent (vertically or horizontally) positions in the array are considered part of the same "country" if they contain the same integer. Given a 2D array of integers, compute the number of distinct countries in the array.
I applied through university. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL)
Interview
for online assessment, there was a question about calculating info from an order book. helps if you know how one works beforehand. only one question and coding preferred in C++ or java.
one technical round and one hr round. technical round was moderately hard. hr round was about your personality, asking about general questions to check if you fit in their workspace.
Coding Challenge, Recruiter Phone Screen, Project Interview, Onsite. Coding Challenge was definitely on the challenging side of those I've taken. They dive deep into your past & current experiences for project interview. Onsite was challenging -- a long problem statement.
