The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Sydney)
Interview
Applied online and got through the interview screening. The second round was 2-hour codility test consisting of 3 questions. The questions are not typically hard, but you need to consider some special cases e.g boundary cases. And subsequently there was a verbal test (tests critical thinking but not yes/no/cannot say type )and psychometric test(find the pattern). Then the onsite interview was a 35min coding test. You were to implement some behaviours a character in a game. Not hard but nervous so didn't get right.

Question 1
People are waiting for a elevator in a hotel. A elevator has limited capacity and Hotel has floor 0 to M. Elevator has a limit of X ppl and weight of Y. There are N ppl standing at ground floor in a queue. So there are two arrays A[N] B[N]. A is weight of each person and B is the floor the person wants to go. The elector goes up and stops at each selected level and comes Back to the ground floor. Write a solution of how many times the elevator will stop.
I applied through 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.
