I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at CME Group in Aug 2021
Interview
Did not follow through with the interview as Talent Acquisition called only after 7 weeks of application, when I already received another offer. Also, Talent Acquisition did not enquire about my availability, and just forced a timeslot that wouldn't have worked for me.
Appears that Talent Acquisition is based in India, which greatly reduces efficiency in terms of scheduling and response time.
Neutral experience
Average interview
Application
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CME Group (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Relatively straightforward with mainly fit questions. Very little technical outside asking about financial modeling experience on the superday. Phone screen with HR and then someone on the team. Then brought in for a superday with 5 30-min interviews.
Interview questions [1]
