I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied through school career service. Got an email for an alternative online test. I thought I did a good job in the test and got an phone interview after the test. Rejected shortly after the phone interview. Questions are hard but the interviewer were nice and gave you some hints.

Overall, it was a pleasant interview experience. I answered a few personal questions and encountered one that was slightly confusing, but the interviewer was friendly, and the conversation flowed well overall
Probability questions, nothing crazy but quite open ended, they want to know your thought process and calculations. Pen and paper allowed but no calculator. No OA, a few rounds and got rejected. Zoom call with a trader.
