It was a very weird interview, only 3 brainteaser and math based questions. No fit or technical questions. They are basically trying to see how you think. Decent experience overall.

Difficult interview

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Jane Street in Sep 2017

Interview

Applied to the position after an online info session at a university. Received a relatively fast response after applying online. I was asked to complete several assignments on Microsoft Excel, and you get 2-3 days to complete it. I turned in the assignment and was told that I wasn't continuing in the process, so I don't think I did well enough to move on to the next step of the interview process.
