I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Jane Street (London, England)
Interview
I saw the position advertised on their website and apply for it. My skills, experience and qualifications matched 100% their requirements of the job, even the desirable experience, however, a few days later I received an automatic email "hiding" behind "recruitment team" saying that they could not find a match for my credentials and experience which is not really true. This is something it has happened before and by now, it is obvious to me that their recruitment process clearly lacks transparency and that my applications clearly were not even looked at and that is why they send an automatic reply email hiding behind "recruitment team" with a reason for rejection that is not really the real reason. With those "ethics", it is clear that it is best to be well away from them.
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Oct 2023
Interview
Tough, thorough. Quizzed accounting knowledge. Asked about culture fit, and previous experience. Interview lasted about thirty minutes. Lots of back and fourth. Accounting Standards, and net capital calculation quiz. Good to refresh prior
2 * four hour sessions. Each session included tests and interviews with multiple people. Interviews were with members of the same team the job would be in and other teams. Also included video conference to different locations.
