I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Virtu Financial (New York, NY) in Jun 2012
Interview
Tony was very nice. Seems like a great guy. They gave me a written tests and then some logic puzzles.
They concluded quite rapidly that I didn't have the right kind of brain for trading and I would have to agree. You gotta be able to think very fast and under pressure and that's not really me. He gave me some advise about jobs that might be a better fit for me.
You are not going to get far here unless you are very good solving logic puzzles under time pressure. I don't think there is much you can do to prepare for these. You are either good at it or not.

Question 1
Not going to let anyone cheat, sorry. Just a logic problem that very few people are going to get right.
Very good, they only cared about my GCSE results, asked super easy questions I feel like they like people with good gcse grades. I was worried because I studied history in university.
Interview process is very smooth and transparent. There is a variety of question asked, from soft personality questions to more technical questions, which cover knowledge area from brain teasers, statistics and certain coding questions.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Virtu Financial in Aug 2024
Interview
I interviewed with Virtu in September 2024. The process was exceptionally long, spanning approximately three months with around nine interview rounds. On average, it took about two weeks to receive a response after each round. Despite the extensive commitment, the feedback was minimal, and after three months of interviews, I ultimately received a rejection. I also heard from some friends that even if a candidate completes the entire interview process, the firm might reject them due to concerns from an earlier round, which were never explicitly addressed or revisited later in the process.
