Very casual, and laid back. They were just starting a new group within the firm, so I was one of their first employees. It lasted about an hour, and then there was a 5 week trial period before I traded live.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Gelber Group (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Most of the people were very nice. They asked a lot of subjective questions about risk and trading systems. Gelber himself seemed like he had 3 cups of coffee when interviewing me and kept interrupting me to ask more questions before I would finish an answer. Beside that, it was a good experience.
