Process
90-minute HackerRank challenge. The same two questions, easy/medium HackerRank, that you can easily google.
Then, you have 48 hours to do a 9-question, 30-minute interview with some CS questions. Then, rejected.
Waste of my time. I learned nothing about the company and never once spoke to a real person.
Who even knows if they’re hiring? It seems like they reject most people. Apply elsewhere, where they can take the time to give you a phone call.

IMC Trading Work Experiences
5.0
Great environment to work with. Great people and very good money
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Amsterdam, Netherlands
October 22, 2012
Pros: When you're in, you will be taken care of. Extensive bonuses, such as free lunches, beverages 24/7, fruit and candies, gym membership, every Friday's party at the bar located on premises for free, an annual team-building trip located out of the Netherlands, a Christmas present such as an iPad, and bi-weekly on-site massages. You don't have to worry about the money. The best part is the bonuses, which can be anything from 10%, depending on your performance last year. Great people, you learn a lot.
Cons: Almost none. However, when you are not wanted for any reason in the company, you will be fired in an hour.

IMC Trading from the perspective of a new grad Software Engineer
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Chicago, Illinois, United States
November 16, 2020
Pros: Amazing benefits, very smart/caring people, lots of responsibilities given even to new grads.
Cons: Not much flexibility for remote work.
Ideally, you're in Chicago if in the US.
2.0
Utter lack of transparency
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Chicago, Illinois, United States
January 24, 2024
Pros: The fully stocked kitchen is very nice and very welcomed. If you have to be in the office daily, you might as well get fed at work. This is done well.
Cons: Very little transparency in decision-making. They tell us a few things here and there, but major things just happen, and we cannot ask questions, nor are we given reasons why. Long-term employees are being terminated, senior people, but the firm does not communicate. And if they don't know how to communicate, hire a PR firm that can tell you what to say. Right now, the silence is deafening and is hurting morale.
