HR replied one day after sending my cv.
Written exercise, can be done in any format, mainly aggregation of data and some insights gleaned from the data. Phone interview, scheduled for 20 - 40 minutes but actually a solid hour, one estimation question and one brain teaser.
During the estimation problem, the interviewers kept challenging every assumption I made and every number I used.
Panic when doing the brain teaser, could not think at all...
At the end of the brain teaser, the interviewers asked me how confident I am...I told them around 40%...being way too honest...
But have to say the interviewers were really patient throughout the process and gave me guidance when I'm stuck.
Did not hear back the next day...guess I didn't pass the phone interview...
Now that I think about the brain teaser, it's actually really simple. Stay calm and be clear about your thought process, you will be fine.

Question 1
one estimation problem and one brain teaser
no probability problem for me, which is kinda sad for a math student...
Fast communication with recruiters including notifying you of your status. Little Feedback on the quality of the work was provided. It began with completing a small assignment utilizing Excel and then having it sent back.
I applied online. I interviewed at Jane Street (London, England) in Dec 2022
Interview
Simple and fast, they tell you if they dont want you quite quickly. People are very nice. I got referred by my friends but i dont know how much that helped me
I think the interview is hard for someone with less technical background. Even though they said that candidates with different disciplines are welcome, I do not think it is the case.

Several rounds. I believe the sources online at this point is enough.
