I applied through university. I interviewed at AKUNA CAPITAL in Sept 2016
Interview
I applied through campus recruiting and received an email to do a Hackerrank test. A week after completing the test, I heard from them to schedule a phone screen. I was asked about my background, some python questions, a probability question, and a brainteaser. The interviewers were very polite and I enjoyed talking to them. I did not get past the phone screen but heard back promptly. The entire process was well organized, they were prompt and responsive, and overall I had a very positive impression of the company.

Question 1
Hackerrank test: some basic programming, a machine learning question
Phone screen: python basics (not algorithms), prob stats
Had my Akuna Capital quant dev interview recently — they asked two LeetCode-style questions (an easy warmup and a medium one). I solved both, felt good about it, but still got the rejection email the next day. Tough process, but good practice.
I applied online. I interviewed at AKUNA CAPITAL in Oct 2024
Interview
They send you a link for a coding assignment the minute you submit the application, so I don't think they read the resume.
The coding assignment was long and hard. You need to be a Leetcode veteran to have a chance. I solved 2/3 problems perfectly and in the last one I got it right for 13/15 test cases, but it wasn't enough
first I got an OA on which there are DSA Questions. After that, I got another OA in which they asked math questions. The third stage was the technical round in which they asked me 2 coding questions one was related to DSA and another was related to Object Oriented.
