I applied through college or university. I interviewed at PEAK6
Interview
There were three interviewers. Two are traders and one is an HR. One trader asked me some behavioral questions and another one asked me technical questions, including mental math, the probability of betting, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example that you need data to make a decision but you couldn't access the data. How did you make the decision eventually?
First part is OA with logic Qs brain teasers and probability. The next round is the behavior / trader interview, with standard strategy / probability questions. I have scored 60+ on 80 in 8 and zetamac, but I cannot do *oral* mental math easily, without being about to see the numbers in front of me so I did not do well on this portion. They are very courteous about responding quickly tho.
1st round interview: online timed quantitative assessment
2nd round interview: virtual behavioral interview and technical interview
Final round interview: superday with many rounds of interviews including behavioral interviews, technical interviews, and a case study
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PEAK6 in Aug 2022
Interview
Was sent an OA, basically a raven's matrices test with some math questions sprinkled in. Literally just an IQ test. Took them 2 weeks to respond to me with a rejection email
