J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez IMC Trading (Hong Kong) en oct. 2011
Entretien
Submitted an application form and CV for the role in HK office.
First round interview is a quick 10 min short board interview with 5 people, basically quick math. Also capabilities test on computer.
Second round interview is about 25 min, with the trader head. More behavioral questions, questions about resume. Also a written test on mental math calculation, such as 14.7 * 3.1
about 50 questions like this. Time is rush.
Final round is a general interview, a technical interview, a broker simulation, and a board case study.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The mental calculation may be hard for some people. It needs practice and you gotta find the tricks for yourself. The board study and presentation is hard for me.
It was a tough market making game and a pretty easy brain teaser. The process took a while as well. I think I got nervous since it was my first interview as the difficulty was not too bad.
Have to play some reaction games, I tried for a business course, failed and then also got insta reject on actual application. Reject came in within a day. Was a bit disappointing

Assesments first, than HR/Technical after that a superday. Assesments are a video interview, where you record a video and get to questions to answer. HR interview partially checks whether you would be a personality fit to the company but also assesses some more technical skills. Superday has a quant round, a trader round which are more technical and another HR round.

Question 1
HR round is partially personal, partially brain teaser. Superday is problem solving and probability heavy.
