I applied online. I interviewed at Trayport (London, England) in Dec 2020
Interview
Engaging call with the internal recruiter, gave me a thorough overview of the company. I then completed a technical assessment (didn't take too long ~2hrs). After this, it was one final interview, again around 2hours long. I met a number of people from the team. The interview was split into two essentially. First part was with the team's agile coach and the internal recruiter. Here they asked questions around my ways of working and knowledge of agile processes. The second part of the interview with two of the teams tech leads. This part was a very technical.
As far as interviews go it felt less like an interview and more like a technical chat. I was able to ask lots of questions and everyone was refreshingly transparent. My only criticisms would have been it would have been nice to meet other members of the team and possibly a little longer to talk.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a situation where you had to work with a colleague you didn't get along with? What happened? How did it make you feel? What was the outcome?
Fast apply and interview process, took about 2 weeks but that is the only pro. Process was initial check, 2nd talk with senior, Hackerrank test, in person (almost 3 hours) interview. Final interview was fine for the first half but the 2nd half required code reviewing using a sheet of paper, interview continued without breaks and some questions were not asked well.
First stage interview on the phone
2nd stage interview coding Excercise.
First stage was easy, just general questions on c# and how you carry out your duties day to day.

What is a deadlock in the context of multi threading?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Trayport (London, England) in Feb 2024
Interview
Three stage interview. First with principal dev. Keen on multithreading experience. Online coding test with two hour time limit on hacker rank. The test isn’t difficult but a bit wierd coding on hacker rank. Final stage is another technical interview.
