I applied online. I interviewed at Susquehanna International Group (Philadelphia, PA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Sig asked some outside contractor to interview me. Unusual. The interviewing process was awkward and uncomfortable. The guy is like a CD player with strong accent. Literally I spent 5-10 minutes trying to understand the problem. I was interviewing with >10 tech companies and didn't see this. I felt that he was not prepared and in between questions he actually paused and looked for next question. Once he found one, he start to read out the question fast then silent.

Interview
First round HR person called me and ask about my thesis projects, but after second round interview, I decide to withdraw my application. The interviewer has no patience in clarifying questions and show no respect. After I correctly answered two simple probability questions, he asked me if I was using a computer to look for the answer. I was clearly insulted as I have been speaking to him to demonstrate my thought process, although he gave little feedback. I was applying for a quantitative research position, but they find an arrogant HR person to ask me probability questions. Very unpleasant interview process
