First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Volant Trading.
Quantitative Analyst
Applied online about a month ago and got a notification for a timed coding challenge. After I passed that, they scheduled a phone interview. However, the phone interview got rescheduled because the traders I was supposed to talk to were suddenly unavailable. The phone interview eventually happened, and I was asked an algorithm question. I didn't provide the best solution, and the interviewer seemed annoyed and passed me on to someone else to continue. It was a really bad and disrespectful experience, unlike my other 10+ phone interviews.
- Tell me about a past project.
- Can you solve this algorithm question?
Quantitative Analyst
I applied online and heard back a week later via email to complete a C++ coding test. It was two and a half hours long with three coding questions. I solved two of them, but the third was quite difficult. Although there was only one test case shown for each question, I assume more will be used for evaluation after submission. We were allowed to write our own test cases to check our code before submitting.
- Could you implement big number multiplication?
Quantitative Researcher
got an online coding test from cordiality, it was standard and not that hard. it took about 2 hours with 2 problems, basically to check my skills in Data Structure and Algorithm. The first problem was about vectors and the second was about vector of vector. I thought it was easy, but didn't hear back after submitting.
- What coding challenges did you face?
