The people I spoke with were nice and the interview process was pretty straightforward. It involved some behavioral questions and some technical questions, but nothing too advanced. Mostly just fundamental questions, which makes sense for a company that's mainly into market making and doesn't do a lot of other stuff. I talked to at least 12 people in total.
