I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Amsterdam)
Interview
The process consisted of four steps:
- First a non-technical HR screening, with some basic questions about your experience and why you want to work at IMC.
- Coding challenge, implement a simple program (thinking about code maintainability and testing) and a code review of a provided code snippet.
- Technical interview with developers, going over your CV and the code of your submitted challenge.
- Final interview, live coding session (discussing data structures and implementing some functions), HR behavioural interview, and technical interview going over your past experiences.

one technical round and one hr round. technical round was moderately hard. hr round was about your personality, asking about general questions to check if you fit in their workspace.
Coding Challenge, Recruiter Phone Screen, Project Interview, Onsite. Coding Challenge was definitely on the challenging side of those I've taken. They dive deep into your past & current experiences for project interview. Onsite was challenging -- a long problem statement.
