I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Belvedere Trading (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2016
Interview
Applied online, sent a coding challenge online, passed it, then got sent another, and passed that one as well. After both of those, there was a phone interview, and finally a superday, where they fly you out to the company for a final interview, which lasts around 4-5 hours, ended with a dinner at a nearby restaurant.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Belvedere Trading in Nov 2025
Interview
1 takehome assessment followed by a 3hr technical interview divided into 3 parts: live coding, system design, revision and extension of the takehome assessment code. They've followed up saying they were impressed and would like to do a final round the following week, but 2 days later cancelled saying they don't want to do anymore. Probably the worst interview experience I had.
