It was a technical interview. It started with some questions about my background. And then I was asked a coding question, and I was asked to analyze the time complexity and space complexity
Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela XTX Markets em ago. de 2020
Entrevista
Video Call with the manager followed by 3 video calls with team members.
The chat with the manager was good – I learned a lot about the company and the role. It ran for an hour and a half an included a coding test, which I had not expected.
The next batch of 3 interviews left me unimpressed -- the first interviewer did not show up. The second interviewer was pleasant and I enjoyed solving the coding problems. The third interviewer was 20 minutes late and had a very poor internet connection so I was frequently unable to hear what he was saying. Moreover, his code bunk link did not work which led to further delays.

Phone call screening (~30 mins, voice only).
