I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Two Sigma (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
Applied for NEW GRAD position with a referral mid-September.
Step 1 coding assessment (3hrs, 2Q, seen one on LeetCode). Be careful about edge cases.
Step 2 phone interview w/ engineer, 1 behavior Q (past project), 1 technical Q (seen on LeetCode but I forgot how to do, struggled a bit and eventually figured out) Used Codepad or sth.
Was told eligible for final on-site the same day. Submitted availability but never got scheduled. Check with them 3 weeks later, was told the position filled (early December)
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.
