I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2021
Interview
Applied online through their website, got hacker rank after a week, got a one-way video interview a few days later. One hackrank question is the minimum number of moves of a knight given a bishop on the chessboard. One is the implementation of a new stack class with two new functions. Still waiting on results after the video round

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.
