I participated in an online coding interview, which was followed by an invitation to a Zoom interview. While the coding challenge itself was fairly standard, the scheduling process was extremely disorganized. After several unsuccessful attempts to find a suitable time, I ultimately decided to decline their interview invitation.
Really nice people, made it to the final round but did not get the offer. Mostly brain teasers with some market making games, no question on stochastic calculus or linear regression at all.
It took two weeks to hear back from them. Videointerview, 1 HR questions and then some Probabiliy questions . The interview lasted one hour. With a short introduction on how everything works .
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Amsterdam) in Oct 2024

I interviewed their crypto desk. They keep asking me what kind of algorithm I used in my current job, which I felt was a bit sketchy.
