I applied online. I interviewed at Jane Street in Jul 2017
Interview
The interview took place on the phone and consisted of a series of questions. The first set of questions were about mental arithmetic and the like (what is the sum of the first 50 odd numbers) and the later questions are about probability. They ask you to not use a pen and paper or calculator during this process. Overall the questions and approach are quite reasonable and the interview was extremely affable.

Standard interview for them, a call with some probability questions. If you get three questions right you pass, otherwise just hope for the best. Onsite is where it gets interesting but didn't make to there
Application by web form, received an online test later, then I had the first round interview online, doing some brain teasers questions, which msy be quite different from those you found in green book, more complicated and practical. The interviewer is smart but quite arrogant.
