The process started with an IQ test. This was followed by a couple of interviews. The first interview consisted of basic behavioral questions like "tell me about yourself," "where do you see yourself in five years," and "what's your dream company." Technical questions included how to invert a given linked list, how to check if a linked list is cyclic, and how to implement a queue using two stacks. Finance-related questions covered topics such as bid-ask spread and basic arbitrage. The first interview involved two panelists, while the second interview had about 15 panelists, comprising the entire hiring team.
