I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (Melbourne) in Apr 2017
Interview
Applied online, got a response around a day later from HR scheduling a technical interview. HR was very responsive and friendly.
Interviewer was also friendly was a relaxed and surprisingly very fun interview. Unfortunately I didn't make it through to the final round on site which would have involved them flying me to Hong Kong.
Great experience overall, can recommend
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Started with coding a simple data structure, then getting asked to more and more complex functionality to it. Was asked not to elaborate too much on the question.
The process started with an initial virtual round, followed by an onsite interview. It included a mix of system design and coding problems focused on real-world system applications. Unfortunately, I didn’t perform well in the onsite, which was the most critical stage.
It was a very quick and painless process. Recruiter very responsive, kind interviewers. High implementation and difficult problems, so failed onsite after 3 interviews and a Question and Answer Session.
Did not pass the initial coding round. I tried to explain my thought in details to the interviewer but failed to translate my thought into code. So far interviewer is very nice.
