I applied through university. I interviewed at PEAK6 (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2019
Interview
An online assessment or two then a super day. Super day had 6 30 min interviews spread across the day. Not too hard individually, but it's an exhausting day. They were very nice to me throughout.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Options trading game at the super day. Typical "why do you want to be a trader" questions too. Also, a written coding challenge in a made-up language
it was a total of 9 rounds, back to back, including card games, behavioral interviews, shadowing traders. Overall was very fun and friendly. Reception followed where you could network with the team.

Question 1

I applied online. I interviewed at PEAK6 in Jul 2021
Interview
Applied online. Got an email later on with a series of tests. Some easy, some harder, Math test was basic but timed. Then came a test for pattern recognition where they'd throw you a sequence of figures and ask yout to select what the next figure in the sequence would be. Then got called in for interviews. First was a guy with some easy qs about finances and then a couple of minutes of timed mental math (tough). Then a more senior guys just asking regular interview qs.
