iCapital interview questions

I did a TO DO in Ruby on Rails on the Backend side and React on the FrontEnd. It was an interesting process, the consultant was very participative. I had good support and feedback.

The interview process was fairly long and inconsistent. It began with an online assessment that included a tricky leap year math problem, a greedy algorithm challenge, and a REST API design question related to a food outlet. The next round was with a highly knowledgeable Quant Developer who discussed topics like Black-Scholes and the VIX, followed by a collaborative design of a random stack. This was followed by an HR round where they were aggressive about salary expectations and pressured me into disclosing a range. Another technical round was with a younger Quant Dev who was unusually insistent on implementing solutions his way, asking for specific approaches like his version of "Merge K Sorted Lists" and testing various Python trivia. The round turned erratic with a sudden request to implement a templated map in C++. I did not pass this round, nor was I interested in continuing after that experience. I believe there were still 3–4 rounds left. Overall, the process felt disorganized and impersonal, and I never received any follow-up. This company may be best approached as practice for more serious opportunities at actual funds
