I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IMC Trading
Interview
Passed a normal technical telephone interview with flying colors, then was sent a "programming test". The "test" was to spend 4 hours refactoring a trivial programming exercise. No substance, just form. Are they testing whether people have read the same design pattern books? Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
No feedback whatsoever afterwards, just a "sorry, you didn't pass".

Question 1
Programming task not hard, just vague and testing programming style rather than ability.
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.
