I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Two Sigma in Nov 2010
Interview
Had phone interview, followed by a code test. Got invited to NYC for an on-site. They told me to book a plane back after 7:00pm the same day since the interview would be a day long. The interview started at 9am, interviewed with 2 people. 1 of the people was arrogant and I strongly got the impression he did not like me, for no reason. He asked me technical questions and would steer me in the wrong direction when I would explain my answers. The second interviewer was much more friendly and personable. Noon came around and they said I was done for the day, and told me to leave, and wasted 7 hours of my time as I still had to wait for my plane. Would never interview there again.

Question 1
What are design patterns? Can you give me some examples?
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
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.
