United StatesPosted Sep 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a more testing, difficult-looking path that started with an online assessment requiring me to build a small trading application.

I got the exam link shortly after applying, and the nature of the task immediately set the tone—it wasn’t just a couple coding functions, it felt like an actual mini project.

After sitting with that for a bit, I later received an invitation to an assessment center in London. The format there was group-based and structured around multiple coding challenges. I ended up doing two separate coding tasks: one that leaned heavily into algorithms, and another where I had to review and catch issues in existing code.

What surprised me was how much heavier the work felt compared to typical interview
