- Five Chicago Onsite Rounds and a Template RejectionIMC · Hardware Engineer · Onsite · Aug 2026Rejected
A recruiter first found me through a professional network and referred me to IMC. After two phone screenings with a hardware engineer and a machine-learning algorithm engineer, I was invited to the Chicago office for an onsite. The onsite had five rounds, all on the same day, and I met ten interviewers across those rounds. First round: Hardware architecture. I was first given a small program writ…
- IMC Software Engineer interview with no update after round twoIMC · Software Engineer · Apr 2026
After I got through the early stages, the process seemed to be moving normally. I completed what I believed was round two and waited for the next step. The silence afterward threw me off. I never received an official message saying that I hadn’t made it to round three. Instead, I was left to infer what had happened, with no real closure. The lack of communication made the experience drag on even…
- IMC Software Engineer interview with graph and scheduling assessmentsIMC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Mar 2026
After I applied, I was asked to complete two online assessments, both focused on programming-style problem solving. One centered on graphs, and the other covered scheduling. A short time later, I moved to a one-way online interview with three questions. They were technical and focused heavily on how I think about programming languages and core data structures. The format was straightforward, but…
- Reflex-Game OA Then a One-Take Video ScreenIMC · Trader · New Grad · Technical Screen · Mar 2026Rejected
I applied online for IMC Amsterdam's graduate trader role in March, and right after I submitted the application it automatically sent me the first round OA. The first round was a 45-minute Neurolympics game — you can try a shorter demo version of the same kind of questions before the real thing, but the real test is longer. I did really badly on this round, both my speed and accuracy percentiles…
- IMC Software Engineer interview with coding, system design, and team fitIMC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Feb 2026
The process was structured and felt comprehensive. After applying, I completed an online activity and then had an initial screening call. The technical portion moved into coding interviews where I could choose the programming language. The work combined problem-solving discussions with system design questions. There were also team fit and culture checks, along with a feedback step where they revi…
- IMC Network Engineer interview: modern C++ and multicast protocol questionsIMC · Network Engineer · Online Assessment · Dec 2025
My process began with an asynchronous online interview and a technical test. The main technical portion started with a deeper discussion focused heavily on C++. It felt intense from the beginning. The interviewers were welcoming enough, but the questions went well beyond surface-level knowledge and dug into modern C++. I went through additional rounds, and the later stages became even more specia…
- Two OA Questions on Container Waste and Org-Chart PropagationIMC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Dec 2025
Two questions: Question 1: Waste Reduction A pharmaceutical company business scenario. The company prepares liquid medication for different patients, and the amount each patient needs varies. The medication has to be packaged into containers, and each "container set" offers bottles of different capacities. Given: the requirement amounts for multiple patients (requirements); and several container…
- Betting Strategy and Election Fund AllocationIMC · Quantitative Trader · Intern · Technical Screen · Nov 2025
Q1: Betting game. The setup was a series of matches with their odds and match times. Each group of matches could be treated as independent. I would receive two events, meaning inside information or statistics, and had to decide from each event whether to change my bet on a particular match. I also needed to calculate my profit and loss. During the final review, I had to explain my betting strateg…
- IMC Software Engineer interview with a two-question online assessmentIMC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Oct 2025Rejected
I started with an online assessment containing two questions. The first was harder and reminded me of common LeetCode-style problems, especially arrays and lists before moving toward trees and similar topics. I spent time aligning my practice with that structure, and I remember thinking it was the kind of round where knowing the patterns mattered. I hadn't started the live interviews yet, but the…
- IMC Software Engineer home assignment and code reviewIMC · Software Engineer · Take-home Project · Jul 2025Rejected
I started with a home assignment that was split into two parts. They estimated about six hours of work and gave me three days to complete it, so it felt manageable at first. The first part involved implementing something straightforward, along with smaller requirements such as writing a README and adding unit tests. Some of the solution requirements felt subjective and depended on the approach, w…
- IMC Software Engineer interview: seven three-minute reasoning sessionsIMC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Feb 2017
I applied through a school career fair and online, and then received an online logical reasoning test. It was divided into seven sessions. Each session lasted three minutes and had four questions, which made the test feel rushed even though the topics were the kind of things you can practice. After I finished it, I received a second online test with three questions. This one was more technical, a…
- IMC Software Engineer assessment with limited sample guidanceIMC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Oct 2016
After I sent my resume, I was pushed into an online assessment pretty quickly, just a few days later. It ran through Codility and had only a handful of questions, with a couple of hours to complete it. The structure was pretty tight. Each question had only one sample input and output, with no extra guidance, so I felt I couldn't rely on the examples to confirm my approach. That same straight-to-t…
- IMC Software Engineer asynchronous video interview after an online assessmentIMC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jan 2016
I applied in November, and about two weeks later I received a link for an online assessment. I did the work myself, but the part that really got to me was the interview afterward. Instead of speaking with someone on a call, I had to record my responses in a video format. I remember feeling unusually nervous because I wasn't used to talking into a camera without any back-and-forth. It didn't feel…
