I applied online. I interviewed at IMC Trading in Sept 2020
Interview
First stage was a 90 minute HackerRank with 2 questions. This was followed by a one-way video interview which consisted of 10 questions, including technical trivia-style (where you had ~15 seconds to think of an answer) and behavioral questions.
Overall I never got the chance to talk to anyone working at the company as the whole process up to this point was automated.
First round was online assessment, it was OOP on Hackerrank. Then you can call with HR, they asked basic behaviorals and computer science trivia questions. next round (which is the final round) was 2 hrs technical with engineers.
