It was a three-phase process: a screening, then a first technical round, and finally a second technical round. The screening was easy, with usual questions. The technical rounds, each about an hour, usually had one from the client and the other from 'Cme'. They asked about everything.

Behavioral
HR from CME reached out on linkedin for my cv and a meeting. I was interested in CME (good glassdoor rating + positive social media presence), so we had a meeting. She said everything was good and would pass my cv to a technical person. I was surprised I didn't hear back, even if I wasn't a good fit, they should have kept me updated. I emailed her about the position, still no reply. Very unprofessional.

I applied through Glassdoor and had an initial HR phone call where they asked about my background and work eligibility. After that, I was scheduled for an on-site interview with members of the risk team. We talked about skill sets, and they seemed particularly interested in candidates with data science experience. Overall, the experience felt pretty chill.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you discuss option pricing and any open questions you have in data science?
- Describe how you would implement a vega hedge for a call option.
