I applied online. I interviewed at Jane Street in Dec 2020
Interview
First time I applied I was rejected after the coding test, now applied again and got into the interview stage. First stage was a phone interview with an easy-medium question. Got feedback after about a week, and passed. Then, I was invited for a half day of interviews, where the questions were harder. I had an offer deadline so they told me they'd give me a response within 24 hours, which they did. They also sent me a bit of merch after the phone interview. Overall a great experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Obviously not gonna share the questions, but they weren't too algorithmically demanding, rather implementation-heavy
OA sent immediately. Then a phone interview. Then a three hour panel interview. The phone interview is somewhat chill, but the OA is difficult. The time limits especially make it difficult.

Question 1
Dynamic Programming, Algorithms questions. Can code in any language.
It was a very nice interview - they don't make you run your code and they're much more interested in your thought process. I think it was the ideal coding interview

Question 1
They gave me a programming question with multiple parts that got harder and harder
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (London, England) in Oct 2021
Interview
I did the whole task very well, explained it and answered all the questions from the interviewer, but they still rejected me after it without giving any reasons. All other interactions with the company were even worse.

Question 1
Writing a simple interpreter of a stack-based language with arithmetic expressions
