I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GTS (New York, NY) in Jul 2022
Interview
I applied via their website. The process was divided into the following phases:
1. Phone screen with HR
2. 4 hour take-home, a standard problem you get for HFT roles
3. Technical screen with an employee with a LC-style coding problem.
4. On-site 1: As others have posted, there are three rounds. First non-technical, second technical with an API, and third technical with a LC style question.
5. Got dinged before the second on-site round 😮
Overall, I had a very pleasant experience interviewing. The employees were very nice. Of particular note, I was impressed with the elocutory abilities of those during the on-site, a rarity in software regrettably!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The typical HFT interview questions. So, in order of decreasing importance: modern C++, LC, and networking. In comparison to other HFT firms, there is less of an emphasis on hardware knowledge, e.g. what is a cache line? Why might a plain array of key-value pairs be faster than a `unordered_map`?
It was a general phone interview. The interviewer was late for 10 mins and kind of rushed through the interview process. A lot of general questions as expected. At the end I was given a link to perform a online coding test on Hacker rank.
I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at GTS (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jan 2015
Interview
Simple rounds, if you have knowledge, should not be difficult to crack else it would be tough
prepare and go for the interview and it should be okay. prepare your profile well, justify what you write and it should be fine
