I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Chicago Trading Company (New York, NY) in May 2023
Interview
They sent me an hackerrank coding challenge that I completed. I succeeded I guess because they called me back for another interview round. They cancelled that interview the day before on the basis they were not hiring anymore.... Less than 2 months later I'm being reached by recruiters on LinkedIn for the same position. Don't waste your time applying there. Their recruitment process seems highly unprofessional and/or completely discriminatory.
