I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IMC Trading
Interview
They had two people come to the University of Chicago campus and conduct interviews. Pretty basic went over the resume, asked about programming experience, and had a couple of brainteasers. Also wanted to know if there was legitimate interest in financial markets, so had questions about how the market worked. Generally nice and didn't pressure too much when waiting for answers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Showed a picture of an old advertisement and asked what was wrong with it.
Online Assessment, If you pass they organise a phone interview with a recruiter. Call lasts around 20-30 mins and goes over classic behaviourals. Overall a good experience but very competitive entry.
First part is an online games/assessment followed by a hirevue type online interview with a technical question. Then a behavioural interview with some brainteasers and market making games. Final round is onsite.
OA, games which are very varied just a general assessment quite long, final round has a few probability interviews some market making games some probability similar to green book, very similar to other trading companies
