I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IMC Trading in Nov 2023
Interview
The technical interview was the worst interview experience of mine. There were two interviewers and immediately after starting the interview they transferred the vibe that "We don't like you". They were very impatient and constantly interrupting me while I was talking.
They might be a good company but the technical interview was horrible. More details in the question section.
