Drw Holdings Quantitative Analyst timed probability assessment

I started with a timed online math and probability assessment. The questions felt genuinely hard, and the time limit was strict. My impression was that it tested how quickly I could work through probability mechanics. When I didn't make it through that stage, the process effectively ended there. In another attempt, I got further and kept running into probability and options concepts. After an ini…

Drw Holdings Quantitative Analyst: technical interview and superday with a brief brain teaser

I had a relatively short, structured process that began with an HR screen, followed by one technical interview and then a superday. The interviewers were thoughtful and easy to talk to, and they seemed willing to give feedback throughout the process. The technical portion focused on quantitative thinking. It didn't feel like they were trying to trick me with obscure material. The goal seemed to b…

Drw Holdings Software Engineer, OA-first process and technical onsite

I went through an OA-first process that ended with an intense technical onsite. The structure was clear, but I didn't receive an offer. The online coding assessment had several LeetCode-style questions. I scored highly, then didn't hear back about the next step. Another version of the process began with a proctored OA. After that, I had a technical interview with an engineer from the team I was m…

Drw Holdings Customer Success Engineer interview, role reopened

I interviewed for a Software Engineer path that grew out of a need for someone very senior in trading support. The process moved at a moderate pace and focused heavily on experience fit. I first spoke with an internal recruiter about my background and why I was interested, then moved to a hiring manager interview. That conversation focused mainly on my experience and learning about the team and r…

Drw Holdings Quantitative Analyst seven-question math test and technical round

I remember the process feeling intense from the start. It began with a timed math test containing seven questions. The limit was about 45 minutes, and the topics included linear algebra, probability, optimization, and brain-teaser-style problems. The questions were difficult and required quick work, so I felt that small mistakes could compound fast. After the initial stage, I had a Zoom technical…

Drw Holdings Software Engineer interview with a 2.5-hour Codility assessment and superday

I went through an online assessment and technical sequence that moved quickly from testing to rejection, with very little positive feedback. The Codility OA was LeetCode-style. The technical interview covered algorithms and data structures, along with operating systems, networking, and system-design topics. In one version of the process, the final stage was a superday after the first technical ro…

Software Engineer interview at Drw Holdings: Python take-home and unanswered emails

I ran into communication gaps and long periods of silence during the take-home and scheduling steps. That made the experience frustrating, even though I completed everything. I first had a friendly HR conversation and then received a small Python coding or homework task. I submitted it and was expected to have a front-facing technical interview, but I never heard back. In another path, I agreed t…

Drw Holdings Software Engineer interview with a 45-minute C++ technical round

I ran into a C++-heavy interview loop where the main challenge was low-level correctness and syntax rather than just LeetCode-style problem solving. The process started with an assessment and then a short first interview. In a 45-minute C++ technical interview, I was tested on C++ knowledge and low-level details, with less emphasis on pure LeetCode. In a similar journey, I solved a LeetCode-like…

Drw Holdings Quantitative Analyst interview: probability, Fermi questions, and a market-making game

My process started with an online assessment and then moved to a video interview. The OA felt manageable compared with some of the harsher versions I'd heard about. It covered linear algebra and probability, and the live interview extended those topics into more traditional quant reasoning. The interview included expected value and basic probability questions, a few Fermi-style problems, and some…

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.
