I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Nov 2016

They quickly responded after I submitted my application (about a week after) and booked an interview.
Just one technical question which got "upgraded" multiple times. Whole interview lasted about an hour.
