I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Jul 2022
Interview
1. Phone interview 2 very basic puzzles , recruiter said it will take 1 hour but interviewer finished in 30 min.
2. Remote data analysis question. Ridiculously simple dataframe with 5 columns impossible to miss. One day after the last interview I got a rejection email. HR didnt even asked my email. Worst interview process I have ever had.

Question 1
Standard puzzles and extreme basic python and pandas
Very fun process, need to explain your thinking clearly and cleanly, interviewers were nice for all interviews as well. I would recommend working on math and probability questions prior to doing the interview,
The process began with serveral online tests for maths and logic. They gave a personal interview to get to know the candidate better and evaluate fit for the company/role, then held a technical interview covering maths and logic problems.
Fun and filled with unexpected questions. The questions rely on fast thinking and fast calculations, and sometimes intuition because there is no sufficient time for me to work through the whole problem.
