I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Interactive Brokers
Easy interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Interactive Brokers in Apr 2011
Interview
Steer Clear - Leave your experience home and practice crossword puzzles and sudoku instead - it will help on their BS quiz which they put way to much emphasis. Left sitting in a conference room for 30-40 minutes between each of 3 interviewers. - If the interview experience is an indication of their culture, I would never work here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A family has 5 brothers and 3 sisters....how many brothers and sisters are in your family?
I took the train into Greenwich. I got there early. I waited around for 30 minutes. They take you in exactly the time you are scheduled for not a minute early. I took a test. I had an interview and it was short. The test was longer than the interview. I had to meet with some others and to my surprise they took the day off. I knew right there I was not getting the job. I am glad I did not get it, the hours were long and reading the reviews on here the culture was terrible.

Interview
I applied online, a month later I was contacted to take an online exam. The exam was a 90 minutes long, 5 questions in total. They were pure C++ programming questions. I would suggest studying Exceptional C++ by Sutter before taking such exams.
