The hiring process at Two Sigma takes an average of 18 days when considering 5 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Senior Software Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 14 days), whereas Quantitative Analyst Intern roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 21 days).
The online assessment is through Hackerrank. The questions were not difficult, but the allotted time was not enough to complete the code that passed all the test cases. It was a take home test.
I interviewed on zoom with three different interviewers. The first was talking to a recruiter about interview processes and why I am applying and going over my resume. The second was with a quant researcher about my resume, past research and domain knowledge and technical questions. The third round was with another quant researcher about past research and some more technical questions. I didn't proceed after that.
