I applied online. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2020
Interview
Was sent a math/stats test and reaction/memory game after a resume review. Next was a recorded video interview with relatively easy technical and background questions. A week later was a short phone interview with HR, after which they invited me to a live video interview with math/logic problems. The next week I was invited to do a behavioral interview with HR and two final more difficult technical interviews. I have not heard back since those interviews.
