Colloquio
I applied through our school career website, and received an on-campus interview request. The 45 minute interview was a combination of math and behavioral. In the interview, they will first have you take a 10 minute math test consisting of three sections. Sections are harder and harder as you progress through. The first section is simple arithmetic such as 52/3 and 13+49. Then, the second section is decimal arithmetic such as 0.011+0.999. At the end, it is a multiple choice section with large numbers arithmetic, something like 220220/11. In the last section, you get -3 points for each wrong and 1 point for each right answer.
Then, they will ask you some typical behavioral questions.
- Why Flow Traders?
- Why trading/trader?
- What do you know about ETF arbitrage? Walk me through an arbitrage.
- Strengths and weaknesses
I thought that I did pretty well on the test and answering the behavioral questions, but wasn't asked to move on.

I passed the online mental math test, then got eliminated in the second round which was an online interview with HR, where I was asked to play a market-making game in which I had no previous experience. Although it is a junior position, you are still expected to have plenty of technical knowledge.

Do you know any ETFs? How are they priced? Do you know the current market price of the ETF you mentioned? Let's play a market-making game with that ETF

First round - math test, second round with HR on behavior questions, then with trader and HOT on more technical questions, do not expect deep knowledge on ETF. In general, it was not in a very harsh environment
