InterviewI interviewed at Wolverine Trading (Canada)
Was sent a hackerrank to complete. After completing the hackerrank, I heard nothing from Wolverine. I reached out a few times only to be told that they weren't done planning their recruiting process. They never reached out after that to let me know if they were rejecting me. If you're going to ask me to spend an hour on a coding challenge, at least have the decency to update candidates. Also, why in the world are you sending coding challenges when you aren't even done with the planning phase of your recruiting pipeline? Wolverine just wasted my time
Interview Questions
- 3 behavioral questions to answer and 1 algorithmic question. Behavioral questions were just essays. The algorithmic question was quite easy and involved hashing.

Overall very pleasant experience. They move very quickly and everyone is extremely professional and friendly. Not an outrageously hard interview, and everyone is pretty chill. First step is a pretty easy hackerrank with some behavior questions. Next step is a phone screen going over why you want the job and some lightning round trivia on data structures, concurrency, networking. Final round is several behavioral and technical interviews. Pretty relaxed overall, seems like a good place to work.
Interview Questions
- How would you design an elevator system for a building?

They looked over my resume and then they sent me a hacker rank with 4 questions to complete in 1 hour. It took me a long time just to understand what the question was asking me, so I didn't have time to finish it. But overall it was a good experience

InterviewI applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Wolverine Trading (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2020
I was first given a Hackerrank test with 3 behavioral questions (short essay), and then a coding question. Didn't really have enough time to write answers to all the behavioral questions, but still went onto the next round. Next round was a phone interview, basic behavioral questions, asked me about my previous internship experience, what I was looking for at Wolverine Trading, why Wolverine Trading, etc. Next round was a 6 hour onsite interview at their office in Chicago, IL. Started off with a behavioral interview, mostly simple questions. 1 technical after that, then I was taken to their cafeteria for lunch with some employees as well as a small tour of the office. Two more technical interviews after that, and then I was finished. For the technical interviews, they gave you the choice of language, I chose to do mine in Java. They seem to use C++ mostly there so it might be better to work in that language, I chose Java because I was most comfortable with that language. Wolverine had the longest onsite interview process out of all my interviews, ended up getting a rejection the following week.

On campus interview. Not super difficult skills question, but the lack of actionable feedback regarding improvements going forward from both my interviewer and HR was very frustrating to deal with.
