Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso DRW (Chicago, IL) nel mese di apr 2020
Colloquio
First round is a phone interview, going over resume + 1 technical problem
Second round live coding challenge.
Two more rounds of technical questions and resume discussion. One of these tested mental math as well.
Final round is a fit conversation with a partner.
All interviewers were friendly and collaborative.
One of the later technical interviews tanked me despite positive feedback on all other rounds

Zoom Video Interview
This interview lasted ~1hr with a junior Quantitative Trader.
Was asked Bayesian probability, Markov Chains, motivations for DRW, why I am a good fit for the job.
Application online, OA, screening call. did not make it past the screening call with HR rep so cannot speak to rest of process but first 3 were fairly straightforward and not too hard at all

Colloquio
The first stage was a take-home technical assessment containing a single programming question. While I was given almost 2 hours to solve the problem, I solved it in slightly under 30 minutes, and spent the rest of the time being paranoid about whether my answer was sensible.
The second stage was a pleasant informal call with HR.
The third stage was a video call with two quant trading analysts, who asked some simple probability and statistics questions. I fumbled and didn't get to proceed any further.
