CME group .net developer position

[gemasp]

Hi,

Looks like they are looking for .net developers for quite awhile already. I have done Vending Machine test for them last year and once again in jan this year. Both time unsuccessful. Also I know at least two of my friends done it once.

Are they looking for some genius?

CME Group .NET Dev interview

Registered here just now to comment on this thread. Got a test from them recently. Not sure what is the level of expertise or the kind of solution expected. Could Gemasp or anyone else who has done this test please provide inputs.

Thank you.

You registered, specifically to resurrect a year old thread?

Any advise welcome..

Thank you..

This is why I CBA doing tests or coding exercises before an interview. Often it's a waste of time and they go into a black hole. I'm not too preciouls about doing them after an initial interview but they have to have something in the game.

Is that CME as in OTC Rates Clearing?

A "colleague" has just gone there as European Head of Risk.

I suppose it depends how desperate you are to get a role, I don't think I would refuse to do them if asked but I can understand peoples trepidation on doing them. Having been on both sides of the recruitment table I can fully understand though why places want candidates to show their hand with regards to a coding exercise - too easy these to have a good sounding CV and linkedin profile only to fail at the basics.

The advantage of taking a contractor is that if they can't do the work, you terminate the contract and find someone who can.

I'm surprised more companies don't do this - the number of places I've seen where they keep crap contractors to the end of their three month initial contract is too high for my liking. If I can't do the job, get rid of me - that's what I expect.
