Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Jane Street nel mese di gen 2014
Colloquio
Contact was made by e-mail to setup a phone interview. Interview was extremely quantitative, but relatively obscure. Main question was about a complex probability game that the interviewer expected you to calculate mentally. A few more obscure technical questions (as a person coming from a math background) and the interview was over. Process seemed self-defeating as a very small number of people would have the intuition to quickly do a problem like that in their head, but that says little about skill.

As mentioned above, a probability game between two players was given and it involved a complex card game requiring combinatorics.

Colloquio
The interview was hard and very challenging. It involved a lot of Statistical questions and theory, mainly probability theory. I had to show my quantitative problem solving skills and technical ability in coding

Colloquio
Standard interview for them, a call with some probability questions. If you get three questions right you pass, otherwise just hope for the best. Onsite is where it gets interesting but didn't make to there

Application by web form, received an online test later, then I had the first round interview online, doing some brain teasers questions, which msy be quite different from those you found in green book, more complicated and practical. The interviewer is smart but quite arrogant.
