I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Hudson River Trading in Oct 2016
Interview
HRT emailed me asking for an hour long screening interview. The interview was fairly disorganized and the woman interviewing me did not seem to have much experience with interviews. She often asked me to repeat my answers to the questions (she was clearly writing down a summary of my answers for her boss). Her tone of voice and explanations of my questions came across as slightly unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a race track with 5 lanes, 25 bunnies, and no timer, how many races are required to find the top 3 fastest bunnies?
The first round screening was an automated coding assignment on code signal. Had to solve 4 questions in 70 minutes. Classic leetcode style questions with roughly medium to hard difficulty
A *3 HOUR* OA, consisting of both frontend and backend coding
I should have instantly declined to interview upon learning that, and I encourage you too as well.
Felt that I did solid on the backend piece, not as good on the frontend.
