I applied in-person. I interviewed at Marquette Partners (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2016
Interview
I got the first round trader test which was 30mins in length. I interviewed at their office. Most of the questions are probability questions and brainteasers. A pencil and scratch paper are allowed. They are looking at how you react when facing pressure, so just tell them about your thoughts when you cannot work out the problem. The interviewer was quite nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I have a bag containing nine ordinary coins and one double-headed one. I remove a coin and flip it three times. It comes up heads each time. What is the probability that it is the double-header?
I applied online. I interviewed at Marquette Partners
Interview
No phone interview straight to onsite then was told I'd hear back in a week. No communication thereafter. Honestly it was a major red flag that they didn't bother to give me a phone interview first and that I interviewed with people who were trying to be as mean/negative as possible

Question 1
Very specific and obscure questions about coding that I wasn't expected to have the ability to answer, wasting time. What have you done that shows you want to be in this business. Are you okay working overnight
