The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading in Apr 2012
Interview
Overall a good experience. I had an on campus interview, a skills test, and then an onsite interview. The on site interview consisted of three sperate interviews, programming style, algorithms, and hr. The primary language used at the company is java. The interview is done in either java or c++.
I applied through university. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL)
Interview
for online assessment, there was a question about calculating info from an order book. helps if you know how one works beforehand. only one question and coding preferred in C++ or java.
one technical round and one hr round. technical round was moderately hard. hr round was about your personality, asking about general questions to check if you fit in their workspace.
Coding Challenge, Recruiter Phone Screen, Project Interview, Onsite. Coding Challenge was definitely on the challenging side of those I've taken. They dive deep into your past & current experiences for project interview. Onsite was challenging -- a long problem statement.
