Extremly combersome. There are a lot of stages, too many in my opinion, people loose interest.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Thinking outside the box" questions like "how many tennis balls fit in a truck?"
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Flow Traders in Oct 2017
Interview
The overall process seems well-established and everything is done in due time. They use HackerRank platform for technical assessment. The process includes phone screening, hackerrank test, codepair challenge, and on-side interview.
Their recruiter was extremely and uncomfortably pushy on determining my expected salary level. They didn't seem to like the result though.
I've dropped before on-site interview, as they've demanded I accept the salary level they were offering before they could appoint an interview. They didn't seem to pay attention to my past achievements nor recommendations.
Their engineering infrastructure seems a little bit old and proprietary, but I assume it's a good start for beginner/mid developers willing to join financing industry.
