I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Sydney) in Aug 2017
Interview
The interview process is a well organized one, they give very tricky problems for you to solve during the coding round and expect you to be, some sort of a, well, robot in solving problems. They can be very intimidating, alienating experience, for a candidate, unless you sit and solve problems all day everyday in the preparation of this interview.
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.
Coding Challenge, Recruiter Phone Screen, Project Interview, Onsite. Coding Challenge was definitely on the challenging side of those I've taken. They dive deep into your past & current experiences for project interview. Onsite was challenging -- a long problem statement.
