I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Allston Trading (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2012
Interview
Typical tech interview like many other the kind. Phone screen then on-site. Met a few tech leaders. Talks and talks. Questions were reasonable. People seemed nice during the talks. Very casual conversations and relaxed. Don't remember much details on what kind of questions asked!
I applied through university. I interviewed at Allston Trading (Ithaca, NY) in Sep 2016

I applied through university. I interviewed at Allston Trading
Interview
Ran into them at a career fair, handed them my resume, and received a phone interview about a week later. The phone interview was focused on general knowledge about Java, class design, concurrency, networking, and algorithms (There were a total of 12 questions). I was shaky on a few of the subjects at the time of the interview, so I didn't make it to the next round.

Q: Why are Strings immutable in Java, and what might some advantages/disadvantages of this be?
I met a recruiter at a job fair and a couple weeks later I got a phone interview. All of the questions from the phone interview were pretty straight forward and mostly just conceptual questions. A week later, I was invited for an on-site interview. The on-site interview was fun (though there were 5 interviews, each an hour long.) At the end of the day, they took us to a pretty good steakhouse. It looks like they really know how to treat their employees.
