I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Two Sigma (New York, NY) in Sept 2017
Interview
I had a phone interview with a recruiter after submitting my resume through a third party job site. She told me that the next steps in the interview was to talk to a recruiter within the company so they can help me find the best fit within their teams. I had a second phone call with a recruiter, and he sounded as not interested to talking to me and after that call there was no follow up which was totally unprofessional and a huge waste of time on my part as I had spent a lot time preparing for technical interviews but the recruiter failed to follow up to set up one.

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.
