I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2019
Interview
There were three stages. Stage 1 was a coding challenge on Codility. Stage 2 was a video "interview" where you have to record yourself answering around 8-9 questions. Stage 3 is onsite interview. There's a behavioural and a technical interview.

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.

What is the project that you are most proud of and why
There was first an online assessment with two medium coding questions. After passing, there was a virtual interview with a small technical short response section and a basic behavioral section.
