I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Two Sigma
Interview
Got a hackerrank coding challenge, which I passed. Later got a call from a recruiter who asked about my interests. Nice guy, seemed interested. I then got passed onto some other coordinators and this is where the nightmare began. There was a lot of disorganization and at some point I was talking to three different people in one thread before one finally took over.
The follow-up interview call ended up not being set up because of this and I eventually got tired of the back and forth and gave up on the process. Overall, ended up being an annoying waste of time.
first interview was 60 minutes long with a leetcode hard question. second interview was 2 back to back 60 minute leetcode hard with emphasis on data structures. each interview had a 5 minute introduction and 10 minute at the end to ask questions
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Decode a string encoded using a specific encoding algorithm.
It started of with one phone screen, then if you pass you have 2 back to back technicals, then 3 1 hour behaviorals, hiring committee, and management committee. Standard Leetcode and behavioral questions.
