Process
Three consecutive interviews, all with difficult coding questions. Some involved matching the order of trades.
Interviewers were courteous, but the coding questions seemed too extensive for the amount of time given.
Still waiting for feedback.
Questions
Advanced coding algorithms, e.g., a board game where the winner has n consecutive moves.
