I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Valkyrie Trading (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2022
Interview
2 Online assessments on Hackerrank. The first was purely data structures and algorithms, the second was a more OOP-focused one. If you've ever done the Headlands or Wolverine trading OA, it's similar to that. After that an HR screen which could have been an email. Then an interview with an engineer, mostly behavioral, about past projects. Finally was invited to the onsite. Thought it would be more involved but I was flown out to Chicago only to be in a room solving ANOTHER online assessment for 3 hours. It wasn't proctored or anything. Then we discussed the approach of the solution with the engineers, followed by a short behavioral. A week later I get the rejection email. Waste of a lot of my time.
two online assessments. First is two c++/c# questions in 120min. One of the questions was a BST implementation, other was find largest subsquare with black pixel borders. Second was 90min.

Question 1
Find max element after array rotations and a tcp problem
2 online coding assessments. First one pretty standard feel(GCA in C++). Second one 2 LC hard questions in 90 minutes. Next, an interview asking you to explain the code. I was told there were 2 more technical rounds. But I just got rejected today. I applied in late September, here I am now. What a waste of time. There's months of prep I won't get back.

Question 1
Look at this problem and explain to me your code/process.
I gave the Online Assessment and received another Online Assessment a week later. I hope to schedule an interview in the upcoming weeks and I am wondering how many rounds there are for this role.
