I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2023
Interview
Completed an OA and hirevue. They were unresponsive about their next steps for the next 2 months. After that, they offered me an interview, which only informed me that they had closed all the intern class up. What a waste of my time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why intern at IMC, despite us ghosting you for two months?
I can only really recall the penultimate round, which was with a recruiter who gave a mixture of behavioural/motivational questions and then some sort of stand-alone probability questions. Generally a good experience.

Question 1
Standard behavioural/motivational questions, and then some basic probability questions around dice rolling, I believe.
Generally very nice, a lot of probability and expectation problem. First it was a OA and then 2 rounds with traders. Also a betting game on game results. Final round was with two trader and a bit harder.
HR round with 1 technical EV question, second round was a brainteaser and sports betting game with odds, final round was game theory question and another question related to the order book
