I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Amsterdam) in Dec 2019
Interview
The hiring process was very personal and the recruiter was very friendly with swift responses. Total 5 stages:
1 - Online IQ Test (Data analysis and Image pattern recognition)
2 - Phone competency screen (behavioural and motivation questions)
3 - Online Coding Assessment (Battleships, OOP easy)
4 - Skype [Part behavioral, a series of true/false responses with reason to statements about some CS topics. eg searching a node in a BST is ALWAYS O(log(n))]
5 - On-Site [Flown out to Amsterdam and put in a hotel which was nice. 5 interviews split into 3 sections. 2 technical followed by lunch break and tour, then 2 more technical followed by a short break, then HR interview all behavioural.

Interview
it was hard, was not a standard medium or hard leetcode problem. it was an optimization DP problem. study competitive programming from books for it, and be ready 💪
this is my experience.
Applied online. Got a coding OA. Then received a video assessment where I was asked to explain questions about computer science fundamentals. This felt a bit strange and I did not pass.

Question 1
What is the project that you are most proud of and why
There was first an online assessment with two medium coding questions. After passing, there was a virtual interview with a small technical short response section and a basic behavioral section.
