Assistant Trader

Dropped my resume at the job fair, and was notified that I had an on-campus interview within the week. Interview was 1 on 1 and lasted 30 minutes. The interview was technical and consisted of several brain teasers involving probability. After that interview I was notified that I has made it to the next round, which was a phone interview. The phone interview was also 30 minutes and also consisted of several brain teasers. I did not make it to the next round, which would have been on-site. The people were friendly and warm, but the interviews themselves were fairly cold since they were just looking to see if I would get the right answer or not. I asked for feedback after the first interview and was told to try and practice getting a more intuitive feel for probability--I got the problems in the first interview correct, but thought about the calculation formally (and probably slowly as well). I didn't make it far enough to get a real sense of the work culture or personalities.
