I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Doran Jones (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
This was for the role of a mid-to-senior level Python software developer for a hedge fund client. I was contacted by a third-party recruiter who first arranged a phone interview and later an on-site interview. I did reasonably well in both. I was later informed that the salary requirements and offer were not a match. My salary requirements were by no means excessive, and were well aligned with expectations in the financial industry for someone like me. In effect, I wasted my time interviewing with them. My personal impression is that this firm may be suitable mainly for H-1B visa candidates who are willing to work for low wages.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Is CPython compiled or interpreted? What is a .pyc file? Does Python have function overloading, and why?
If a web page with ten plots is generating the plots too slowly, what is a general approach that can be used to generate the plots faster? The page is fetching JSON data for each plot using REST.
Pretty easy it was one basic coding question you had you think thru. The interview took about an hour and change but it was positive
They focused your knowledge of multithreading

Interview
Contacted by DJ for an opening they had, completed the challenge, and ghosted afterwards. They emailed that they received it and where happy with the results and would be in touch soon but never reached out for next steps. Ignored all my follow ups. Waste of time.
