Interview
I applied through campus career service. They came to campus for one face to face interview. Then was invited into one day on-site interview. The people in the company are really nice and easy going. They divided whole day interview into half. One part is doing some written exams and another part is a face to face interview with different person in company.

Question 1
They tested something like GRE verbal, like what is the word has the same or opposite meaning of the given word. I still do not quite understand why they test something like that.
I applied through campus recruiting. There was a coding assessment followed by a phone interview that was 75% technical (coding) 25% nontechnical (behavioral and resume related). Overall, a very positive experience.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Chicago Trading Company
Interview
First was an online coding challenge which was some basic implementations of math functions. Next was a phone interview involving some more coding and a little bit of background. Finally was a super day interview which had three short technical interviews (brain teasers, probability, pseudocoding, etc.), two behavioral interviews, and two short "projects"/activities that were more trading specific. It's a long day but fun if you enjoy technical interviews. They also took us out to dinner and gave us a tour the day before the super day interviews.

Question 1
Some of the coding during the super day interview must be done without internet access so make sure to review some basic syntax that you might normally look up.
