Interview
3 rounds: online assessment, phone interview and on-site interview.
The in-site interview is fun, you will play some sort of game at first and then code it up. And of course there is white board session. And behavioral interview session.

All the interviewers I talked to were disinterested to a point where they were downright rude. With trading being a competitive industry, if they can't even find interviewers with a hint of enthusiasm for their company I'm not sure how they can convince anyone to join them.
OAs are tough, but if you can get most of the tests to pass you'll get a phone screen I think. It might take a long time to schedule, but phone screens have coding (not LC) or just CS fundamentals trivia depending on the team.
