I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Amsterdam) in Jun 2024
Interview
Long process of 6 rounds in total. First home assignment implementing rock, paper scissors game. Then technical interview, live coding assignment, lead interview, hr interview and another technical interview. Got through them all but still got rejected without a clear reason. They said I lacked some experience which was already clear from the start. Probably a nice place to work at but process is tiring and not transparent.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL)
Interview
for online assessment, there was a question about calculating info from an order book. helps if you know how one works beforehand. only one question and coding preferred in C++ or java.
one technical round and one hr round. technical round was moderately hard. hr round was about your personality, asking about general questions to check if you fit in their workspace.
Coding Challenge, Recruiter Phone Screen, Project Interview, Onsite. Coding Challenge was definitely on the challenging side of those I've taken. They dive deep into your past & current experiences for project interview. Onsite was challenging -- a long problem statement.
