I interviewed at PEAK6 Capital Management (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Technical rounds include probability, brainteaser, and estimation questions. The difficulty of these questions was easier relative to other trading firms,
There were multiple behavioral interviews as well, and company fit seemed to be stressed a lot during the interview process.
Start with OA - IQ type mixed with very basic probability and expected value questions. Then, a short phone screen following with basic behaviorals and a short mental math section.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PEAK6 Capital Management in Aug 2024
Interview
There are three rounds, the first round is OA and the second round sits with two of their traders, each asking behavioral and technical questions. The technical questions include oral math, simple expectations, and open questions that test the candidate's logic ability.
