I got connected with them at an on-campus career fair. After sending my resume, they responded in about two weeks with an online test. The test questions weren't too hard but required quick answers. Following the test, it took another two weeks for them to email me to set up a phone interview. The interviewer seemed friendly. They spent about 20 minutes introducing the company and then asked questions for around 30 minutes. The phone interview itself was pretty standard. Unfortunately, I never heard back after that, even though the interviewer mentioned they'd be in touch in a few weeks. I'm guessing I didn't get the position.

Technical Behavioral

First, I had a phone screen where they asked one technical question at the very end. After that, I went for an onsite interview which consisted of a bunch of one on one meetings with different people from their team. Each person I talked to had their own way of interviewing and asked a lot of technical stuff. It was a good experience though, and each person made sure I had time to ask them questions at the end.

I had a phone interview that lasted about 45 minutes. They asked me some questions related to finance and the market, specifically about options. It was a neutral experience, and thankfully there were no probability or mental math questions. A few days later, I received an email informing me they decided to move forward with candidates who had more experience.

  • Could you explain what options are and the process of options making?

Behavioral Technical

They first asked some in-depth questions about my resume and background. Then came technical questions covering option greeks, probability, and gambling. There were also some general quant book questions, but phrased in a strange way. I didn't get any feedback afterward, so I assume I didn't make it through.

You have 12 marbles, one of which has a different weight from the other 11, and you don't know if it's heavier or lighter. Using a two-sided balance, how can you find the odd marble in at most 3 weighings? Each weighing only tells you if the two sides are balanced or if one side is heavier.
