J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. Le processus a pris 6 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Two Sigma (New York, NY) en nov. 2015
Entretien
They have a long interview process. It took 6+ months for me to get into on site. I found 3+ more offers during the interim. 3 steps to interview process. First is an hackerrank based online test.
It involves a graph based question. Nothing fancy. If you know DFS & BFS it should be a cake walk. I finished off it in 1 hour, they had 3 hours. I made coffee in between and had dinner too.
Second round was phone interview after 2 months. Simple basic questions. Knowledge based questions for 15-20 mins. I got an exciting offer from a big tech company and I asked them to speed up the process. They didn't. I accepted the offer I had and started working there.
Suddenly after 3 months one night recruiter calls me at 11 in night and asks me if I can interview tomorrow morning. I am like "Who is this ? " . He explained me that once upon a time I interviewed with 2 sigma. The recruiter forced me many times to continue the process. I was so pissed off but he was a nice guy and he wasn't ready to keep the phone till I commit to come in the morning.
I thought there is no harm in giving the interview. I went to interview about couple of hours late hoping that they would just not take me in. They still did. 2 short interviews and then recruiter comes and tells me I am not a good fit for remaining round. Who does that ? Can't they just email me later. They think they are saving our time but it's just rude. On top of that he mentioned that I am lucky to come here that only 2% of candidates reach here. I was thinking what kind of candidates you guys interview ? Are they software engineers or you interview random people on street ?
I don't remember the interview questions but all the interview process were extremely simple. Much simpler than most of the tech companies I have ever interviewed with. Everyone was friendly and nice. Interview process would have been so easy if HR wasn't involved.

Standard medium difficulty hackerrank. The question involved decoded an encoded string. It was not something I had seen on LeetCode before and I think was unique to the company. The question was not that difficult but I ran out of time right before I could finish answering.
