I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Jump Trading (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I had an on-campus interview. My solution to the question was not the best. I realized this at the end of the interview. However, they still gave me an onsite interview. There were 3 interviews. The questions were relatively the same as the questions asked to my friends who interviewed during the previous years. Coding questions involved tricky linked list concepts. Other questions were mainly to see how familiar I was with a coding language. (This part of the interview seemed nonsensical because you learn most of these skills on the job. My school doesn't delve into the nitty gritty details about a specific programming language). I was also given a tour of the office and was dismayed by the lack of women present. Honestly, this place did not seem like a friendly or open environment for diverse individuals who have a passion to learn. It just seemed as if I was being tested on whether I knew something by heart or not. Finally, it seemed ridiculous that they were interviewing almost 10x more people than the spots they had for the internship.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Jump Trading (Madison, WI) in Sept 2014
Interview
I just talked to one of their job recruiters at a on campus career fair. I gave him my resume, and he asked me to write a very easy function. He said my function can be optimized and told me to wait for the email, but he never contacts me again.

Question 1
It was an on campus career fair. One of the recruiters asked me to write a function that prints out fizz when the parameter is divisible by 3 and prints out buzz when it is divisible by 5. And it can be in any programming language
