Relaxed interview about your background, and previous job responsibilities. Then you are given a very basic FIX message understanding test. You are given plenty of time and a FIX key is given.

The interview was in person at their London office with the Head of Client Services (Europe) and the Global Head of Client Service. The interview went very well, we had a good discussion around client services and my experience, and everyone was enjoying the process. Once the managers left I continued the interview with a HR representative (male) who asked me some uncomfortable questions, questions that he, no doubt, would ask a male candidate, hinting to the fact that I might be “unavailable” or “away” from my job due to one reason or another.
