I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arcesium (Hyderābād) in Sep 2023
Interview
First was an online test that consisted of questions related to Aptitude, Finance, Options, and Derivatives. After this, there were two rounds of Technical Interviews and One HR round of Interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions related to Options, Futures, Call, and Put Options, Derivatives, Previous work experience-related questions, puzzles and questions related to Finance were asked in the Interview
5 rounds in total, rejected post round 5, which turnout to be a Technical round, but I was briefed earlier by the HR that it will be an HR round. Tried concating them, but they ghosted me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic Accounting, Derivatives Questions, Fixed Income Concepts, resume related questions
4 rounds - scenario based questions
They check the depth and cross question on whatever you say. Derivatives, Option pricing, Greeks, VaR, CAPM are some heavily asked topics.
The interviewers are mostly chill and will lead you to answer if you are unable to reach where they want you to. Rest just be confident it's not that difficult if you have a little bit of background in finance and accounting.
