- Rejected Before the Final Data Analytics Coding RoundVirtu Financial · Quantitative Researcher · Onsite · Aug 2026Rejected
First, there was a 35-minute logic test. The content was very simple, just some pattern recognition and things like that. After that, the difficulty went up.

Timeline: mass-applied -> OA -> HR screen -> Round 1 -> Round 2 The HR round just went over my resume, timeline, and identity/status information. None of the brain teasers people mentioned in earlier interview experience posts. Round 1 was an open-ended ML system design. The question: after a basketball is thrown, it can either go in or miss — how do you model this using information available at…
