I initially applied through a headhunter. The process began with an HR interview, which mostly asked about my background and why I was interested in applying.

The HR interview was followed by a timed coding test. If I recall correctly, it had a two-hour time limit. The test could be taken in Java, C++, and another language that I'm not remembering. It wasn't particularly difficult, and I didn't need the full two hours to complete the two problems.

The next step was a full day of technical interviews. I met with seven or eight people from different teams over the course of the day, and all of the interviews were technical. I mostly solved problems by writing on paper, but later in the day, I also wrote code on a computer.

The day ended with a meeting with HR, who outlined the offer process.

Next was a series of phone calls with different team members to help me make a choice between the two teams I was being considered for. Once I chose a team, the formal offer was extended.

An interviewer asked me to intuitively walk through basic market concepts, ending with an intuitive definition of "beta," despite me having no finance background.
