      Ich habe mich online beworben. Der Vorgang dauerte 2 Wochen. Vorstellungsgespräch absolviert im Feb. 2012 bei Simplex (Chicago, IL)

      Vorstellungsgespräch

      The first round of the process was a quick online Wunderlich test, followed by a webcam interview. A week or so after that I was called in with about 20 other candidates for the in-person interviews. There, we took a full Wunderlich test, followed by a longer, more difficult test on math, problem-solving, and basic options knowledge. After the tests, they sent half of the group home, while the rest of us stayed for a group scenario exercise, and finally 1-on-1 interviews. The whole process took about 4 hours. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience, and was genuinely disappointed that I didn't receive an offer after making it so far. The office is beautiful, and the people I spoke with were bright and genuine. If you make it to the interviews, my only suggestion (which probably applies to all interviews) would be to always keep in mind what they would want a prospective hire to say. A couple of questions lead towards a more obvious, canned answer, but I answered honestly, and I think perhaps my candor cost me an offer.

      Read 'Heard on the Street' if you can. Almost all of the questions were derived from there in some way

      Webcam interview consisted of general "tell us about yourself" questions, followed by brain teasers as mentioned in the previous reviews. Midway through (see unexpected question below) I wondered if I really want to work for a place that throws this kind of crazy out as a measure of a trader, instead of measuring something more relevant like -- oh, I don't know -- maybe my TRADE LOG and SUCCESS RECORD? Or whether my proprietary self-developed methodology could be turned into a profitable algorithm to contribute to the firm's profits? Maybe it was just a test of patience, and in this case I failed.

      Frage 1

      Most unexpected to me was they ACTUALLY asked the "how many lightbulbs in John Hancock Center" -- it's so ridiculous and unrelated to trading that I had trouble believing this was a possible question when I read reviews, and I actually managed to be unprepared. Note that the webcam interview also asks you to cut/paste URLs that you used to figure the answers out, so it's just a logic/reasoning process. I figured out lumens per square foot, how many SF in the building, how many lumens per bulb, etc. But I didn't do a thorough job of pasting the website addresses in, and the number I came up with was probably way off. They could probably sense my incredulous attitude, because midway through I wondered if I really want to work for a place that throws this kind of crazy out as a measure of a trader, instead of measuring something more relevant like -- oh, I don't know -- maybe my TRADE LOG and SUCCESS RECORD? Or whether my proprietary self-developed methodology could be turned into a profitable algorithm to contribute to the firm's profits? Maybe it was just a test of patience, and in this case I failed.

      Vorstellungsgespräch

      First part of the process was to create 2-minute video answers to five questions on-line, including "What makes you the best candidate for this position?", "Estimate the number of fluorescent lightbulbs in the John Hancock Center", and "Do you think a third quantitative easing will be passed?" Two weeks later, 20 of us were brought in for testing and interviews. We were first given an easy 12-min language/math test (really easy), which was followed by a 90-min probability and reasoning test they wrote (much more difficult, tricky questions, similar to those found in "Heard on the Street"). We waited for them to grade the tests, and in 10-15 minutes they came back and read 10 names, asking the rest to leave. They then split us into two groups of 5, and observed us doing a group project where we had to decide which of three hypothetical projects (with pros and cons given) would be best for the company to undertake. Finally, they gave us individual interviews. We were each interviewed twice, both times by two people. This was more relaxed, asking questions that were more about background, or why you want to work with them and in that job. This interview process took about 4 hours, and they were very nice, pleasant, and approachable.
