Software Engineer
Department: Electronic Options Trading Production Engineering
My experience
Overview
Worked on a project for updating information regarding employees, it was a web dev project hooking up a website to an existing database containing employee information. I also worked on a project that read and parsed market data into a historical/archival database. The purpose was a backup data pipeline.
Would recommend it to people who...
can learn on the job and stay motivated and understanding that it's not a position where interns' hands are held all the way through
Impact of work
Time spent working
How did working remote affect your experience?
Really hard to vibe with the team, lots of solo work, being remote affected it a lot. HR did their best to mitigate a lot of the problems which they were mostly successful
Interview advice
How did you find the job / apply?

Interview questions
Pretty easy questions, one question in particular was string splicing/interweaving 2 strings together. For example, "abcde" and "123" returns "a1b2c3de"
Advice on how to prepare
Know your programming language well and be ready to talk a lot during the interview. The interviewers are very social and vocal and want to hear your thought process. A basic understanding of scripting languages was all I needed, so nothing regarding frameworks or database queries.
