I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Susquehanna International Group (Bala Cynwyd, PA) in Sep 2009
Interview
Got an on campus interview for SIG. First round was 4 brain teaser questions, if you get all of them you move on to the second round. There was also 1-2 fit questions about hobbies and recreational activities outside of finance. Basically you have to get all 4 brainteasers correct to move onto the second round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Here is an example of a brainteaser during the interview: You have five pirates, ranked from 5 to 1 in descending order. The top pirate has the right to propose how 100 gold coins should be divided among them. But the others get to vote on his plan, and if fewer than half agree with him, he gets killed. How will the coins end up being divided, assuming all the pirates are rational and want to end up alive?
