I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Virtu Financial in Mar 2022
Interview
1. I was first asked to take an online coding test with 5 easy to moderate problems. I think I passed the exam, though it was never mentioned again. 2. Then an interview with an HR representative who asked questions based on my resume and introduced the company and the role. 3. After passing both steps, I was sent another link for an IQ test-like assessment. I think I passed again. 4. The next step was a one-on-one phone interview with a member of the team. What I applied for was a regular position but the interviewer talked about an internship. I clarified that I am supposed to be interviewing for a full time position. The technical part was a few math and statistical questions, not hard at all. 5. The final round was a virtual on-site with 4 team members in 4 separate hour-long sessions. Oddly, some of them asked me again if I was for an internship. In each session, the interviewer asked me to introduce a previous project and challenged me with two statistical questions. Only one of the interviews lasted well beyond the 1-hour slot, eating into my bathroom time before the next interview. Finally I got almost all answers right, except for the last, follow-up question in the overtime interview. I received a standardized rejection letter three days later.

Interview
The hr scheduled the interview twice but did not show up both!!! I this it is very disrespectful. I really waste much time on it. It is not professional. I think people should consider more.
Was friendly and helpful. Stage 1 was online assessment which should be completed quickly and perfectly. Stage 2 was probability and statistics. Stage 3 was more probability and stats. There are competitive candidates so they are looking for correctness. I stopped here. they asked a squid game probability question that threw me off balance.

Interview
The interviews were multiple zoom ones until a final in-person interview. They were all nice, like a chat with a colleague. Technical level was tested on the understanding. If a formula or derivation was mising, this was not an issue at all.
