I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2020
Interview
Started with CV/cover letter submission, before moving into online test. The test was relatively difficult, a mix of probability and brain teaser/logic. The brain teaser/logic questions were often some of the common ones with modifications to make them harder. After this, was invited to HR interview which was straightforward. Finally had a technical interview. Also relatively difficult under pressure, but a strong analytical and mathematical mind will get you through here. Never heard back after technical interview.
