I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by recruiter. They have 3 rounds of phone interviews, one onsite. They didn't ask for much experience in finance, but are looking for general learning ability instead. I messed up a distribution question and didn't get the onsite invitation.

Question 1
card game questions, how different distribution will affect expectation
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.
