I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Virtu Financial (Dublin, Dublin) in Nov 2023
Interview
Went through FIVE (yes, five) stages just to be ghosted by HR in the end.
OA with LeetCode Easy/Medium Questions, HR Interview with two brain teaser style questions, a live coding interview with a member of the Software Development Team (question was an easy Leetcode question, parsing strings), a behavioural interview with standard teamwork, collaboration questions and another brain teaser, and finally an interview with a member of the Strategy Development Team, who I was told would be working with me directly on the program.
The interviewer in the fifth interview was very condescending in his speech, and straight up just ridiculed my CV in front of me. He even admitted to not having any questions prepared to ask me so was just making them up on the spot (and it showed). However, I was disappointed not to receive an offer as I had performed very well in the previous stages.
Anyway, cheers for wasting 5 hours worth of my time in interviews lads.
