The interview process involved multiple rounds, starting with a phone screen covering probability, brain teasers, and market-related questions. This was followed by a technical assessment focused on programming and mathematical problem-solving. The final round included onsite interviews with case studies, logic puzzles, and discussions on trading strategies. The process emphasized clear thinking, structured problem-solving, and strong quantitative skills.
