Financial Software Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
First, it was an online IQ test, followed by a phone interview about a week later. It took about an hour, with brainteasers mainly, since I am not a CS major.
I received an invitation for an in-house interview a couple of days later. The first round was a 2:1 interview, followed by a 1:1 interview with a manager, and finally with the HR person.
It was very straightforward, with brainteasers and algorithms problems mostly. It took about 2.5 hours. The interviewers were very friendly and nice, nonetheless, I received a rejection email 10 days later.

You want to move fast and take up complex tasks? You can. Want to lay low for a few months while working on a part-time degree? Of course you can.Cons: No pressure. Pretty old technology. Some of the skills are not portable at all.
- 1.0Perks But Toxic CultureFinancial Software Developer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesFebruary 14, 2011Pros: Free food, flexible work hours (if you do not work in trading systems), corporate perks, and a health benefits package.Cons: Backstabbing. Managers behave like dictators with no accountability throughout the chain of command. Outright lies on performance reviews. Performance is proportional to sycophancy. The culture of meritocracy and fairness is being systematically dismantled. Basically, a H-1B sweatshop. Blame the person you don't like instead of the real culprit and get him/her fired.
