I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at D. E. Shaw & Co. - Investment Firm (New York, NY)
Interview
There were at least 5-6 rounds of interviews and it was a very drawn-out process, meeting with each person on the team. Be prepared to interview with them for at least one month if you make it to later stages.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Half of the interviews were more conversational and the other half were standard situational (e.g. tell me about a time when...)
I interviewed at D. E. Shaw & Co. - Investment Firm (New York, NY)
Interview
More thorough process out of a lot of other banks/financial institutions that i have interviewed at - included a take home assessment & another assessment to complete during the interview process.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at D. E. Shaw & Co. - Investment Firm
Interview
Recruiters were stoic and very hard to be engaging with. Questions were very standard, asks for writing sample, GPA, and test scores so be prepared to have that. Definitely a more challenging company to get an offer for.
