Process
The role was for a C++ development internship in their Chicago, IL office.
The experience was good. Communication was good; the interviewer was a developer himself and told me a bit about the Akuna Trading platform, which was pretty interesting.
This was during the phone interview – I didn't proceed to the final round.
