I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Interview process was lengthy and was relatively quick and simple. First round was an Excel VBA exercise and other rounds were probability/math questions. Seems like they interview a lot of people to get the best talent. Best of luck!
