I applied online. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Zug) in Jan 2025
Interview
Online assessment based on a videogame - One way video interview with personal and technical questions (1-3 min time) - Interview with a recruiter with personal questions and brainteaser. Next stage would have been final round of interview (unknown questions).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A and B flip coins starting with A. The first to land head wins. Given that B won, what's the probability of a win on first try?
Some stupid brain teaser questions to hire quant researcher? I’m quite skeptical about this whole idea. Not sure if they actually give a look at CV at all, as some interview tried to contact me and just kept asking about what was already included in CV and said he didn’t know it was all there
Just finished an online assessment. Basically are common quant interview questions. Many probability questions, and some questions about illustrating line graph and histogram, etc. All are multiple choice or fill-ins.

Question 1
For example, how many times are you expected to flip a fair coin to get 3 heads in a row?
