I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IMC Trading in Oct 2018
Interview
Relatively easy online coding test and enough time to finish, so there's no need to rush.
However, the descriptions can be unclear. I made the wrong assumption about the input parameter data and wrote my algo based on that. MY algo did exactly what I wanted to do and was quite efficient too. But, turned out because I made a slightly off assumption, I was actually solving the problem in a wrong way.
I take this as part my oversight and the fault of how the question was worded. Seriously, you could have just explained exactly how the input parameters are structured.

Basic Algo question. Maybe Medium difficulty on Hackerrank?
I applied through university. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL)
Interview
for online assessment, there was a question about calculating info from an order book. helps if you know how one works beforehand. only one question and coding preferred in C++ or java.
one technical round and one hr round. technical round was moderately hard. hr round was about your personality, asking about general questions to check if you fit in their workspace.
