I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2019
Interview
I applied for this position online, and got a coding test, which contains 1 question that are allowed to be solved in most popular language. After about 2 weeks, I received an email inviting me to participate in a video interview, which includes 9 questions; you have about 15-30 sec to read the question, then you'll have about 30sec to 4 min to answer the question (each one has different time limit). About one week later I received the rejection letter.
I applied online. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Amsterdam) in Dec 2025
Interview
it was hard, was not a standard medium or hard leetcode problem. it was an optimization DP problem. study competitive programming from books for it, and be ready 💪
this is my experience.
Applied online. Got a coding OA. Then received a video assessment where I was asked to explain questions about computer science fundamentals. This felt a bit strange and I did not pass.
