Result: Rejected Number of Rounds: 4 Squarepoint onsite, 4 rounds. Round 1 (Coding): Got ATM Queue, simulate a queue of ATM transactions with timing and capacity constraints. Got through the core simulation fine. Follow-up on parallelizing across multiple ATMs was rough, went in a wrong direction before catching it. Round 2 (Coding): Bit manipulation. Wasn't expecting that from a quant shop but okay. Worked it out. Round 3 (System Design): Real-time data pipeline for market event processing. Goo...

exactly, totally threw me off. wasn't expecting it in that context
