I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Amsterdam) in Jun 2020
Interview
Applied online with cv and cover letter. Received an online assessment. One part is a brain test with several interesting games regarding to reaction ability. Another part is full of questions about probability theory and brain teasers. Rather difficult.
