I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (London, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
Had a phone interview with an employee based in London. Very easy to get a chance to do the interview, but harder to get to the next couple of phone interviews. The interview itself was pretty relaxed though, many fun math questions.
