I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CME Group (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2017
Interview
Initial phone interview with CME recruiter. Phone call with department manager. Then in person interview with direct contacts. I was asked questions regarding experience and my opinion in hypothetical situations
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you handle stressful situations regarding clients?
There were 5 rounds, and it was most behavioral. The only technical aspect was researching into the product and providing insights into the industry, so no true technical skills required
Relatively straight forward, 4 different interviews with other analysts and two directors. No real surprising questions, just make sure you demonstrate your interest in derivatives and commodities. Specifically, have some knowledge of the NY coverage and what products trade out of that office.
I had five separate video interviews. Some 1:1 and some group interviews. It took about 3- 4 weeks to schedule and have all the interviews. All video given that it was still Covid.
