Full day interview with no breaks, multiple rounds with different people all of which acted elitist and had their own pet questions typical of crap interview style and not reflective of actual job
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Incredibly specific domain knowledge after stating it was not required. Not general software development question, inner workings of fintech arch design for an entry level position
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cboe in Nov 2022
Interview
5 stages interview process: 1. Screening 2. 1:1 call 3. Home coding task 4. Panel call (technical team + head of s/w engineering) live coding task. [I was rejected at this stage] 5. CTO interview It was a nice discussion with technical team. Home task was not so difficult. Based on discussion with head of engineering I had an impression that ther is no proper processes and they are looking for jack of all trades. Anyway technical team were so good and it was easy to move through the process.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cboe (London, England) in Nov 2022
Interview
had 30 mins interview with Project Lead/manager. The discussion went smoothly and the interviewer was a really nice guy and asked python related questions. At last, he said he is going to share a coding test that does not have any deadline. coding test was simple which I completed in 2 days and sent back. The next day I got feedback stating they won't proceed further as my solution does not match their standards. Some of the comments were really disappointing and insulting for e.g. They said: "candidate did not use unittest to test and it shows he does not have knowledge of testing framework". I had used pytest to test the code and used assert to validate the tests. How can you judge me that I don't have knowledge of testing modules just because i did not use 'unittest' library? pytest is equally an acceptable framework which is being used in industry. I think they need to educate their panel who verifies the solutions. moreover, they are looking for a super expert python developer who can work as a tester for them.
