I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Flow Traders (New York, NY)
Interview
Heard about the opportunity through a student investment club. A week or two after applying I received an email to set up a video interview.
The video interview was timed and featured basic fit/behavioral questions. The candidate has 30 seconds to think of an answer and two minutes to record a response to. The questions were easy but the format was a bit unnerving.
Within a few days received a request to complete a Skype-proctored arithmetic test. Was given a link to practice. Put in some practice for a few days, worried that it'd be really difficult.
The actual test was 10 minutes to answer 75 math problems. It started off super easy ie 72/8. This lulled me into a slower given the lack of difficulty. Section 2 was much harder, but not impossible though I hadn't given myself enough time. Section 3 had very difficult problems but multiple choice. I totally ran out of time to complete all of the questions, and received an email the next day saying I didn't meet the global standard.
After the math test there was a logic (IQ) test, but I didn't get that far. The HR person was nice and professional throughout the process.

Question 1
When is an example of a time you had to think on your feet?
First was a mental maths test of roughly same level as Optiver 80 in 8. Then had a 1-1 interview with HR, did not pass as had not researched company well enough.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Flow Traders (Amsterdam)
Interview
I passed the online mental math test, then got eliminated in the second round which was an online interview with HR, where I was asked to play a market-making game in which I had no previous experience. Although it is a junior position, you are still expected to have plenty of technical knowledge.

Question 1
Do you know any ETFs? How are they priced? Do you know the current market price of the ETF you mentioned? Let's play a market-making game with that ETF
First round - math test, second round with HR on behavior questions, then with trader and HOT on more technical questions, do not expect deep knowledge on ETF. In general, it was not in a very harsh environment
