Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 10 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Two Sigma (New York, NY) en nov 2017
Entrevista
Hackerrank + Phone interview + onsite interview.
Everything was going well until they screwed up in 2 major ways:
1. My first interviewer was a jerk. He appeared very rude and would not let me finish my sentences. It was almost as if he didn't want me to succeed. He didnt come prepared with the interview. After discussing about my previous work experience at length, he gave me a question to solve. I gave him a suboptimal answer. He said there was a better solution. After some 10-15 min of brainstorming, we both came up with a solution that he thought was correct. But when I asked him to give a good example of how it would work, he couldn't! Essentially, he himself didnt know how it worked! And since he didnt come up prepared, I didnt get enough time to code up whatever I had understood. I have had rejects before and I already have an offer from 1 of the big 5 but I havent experienced a worse interview.
2. This has been included before in one of the reviews. They did not distribute the latest version of my resume to all the interviewers. I had fortunately read this before and had brought my own set of resumes. This was 'after' I had specifically asked my POC that they would be using the latest version of my resume or not.
The other 2 interviewers were nice. Most interviews had 1 design + 1 coding problem. And the coding problem had to be implemented.
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

Entrevista
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.
