An external recruiter contacted me about a position. A few weeks later I received an email from internal two sigma recruiter. S/he sent a hacker rank test without even a phone call.
There was two questions, one of them is moderately hard, the other one was difficult. The test was 3 hours. I completed it in 2 hours 30 minutes. There were total 30 unit tests for two questions, 28 of them were passing. I sent an email to two sigma recruiter to tell that I have completed the test. No response is received.
More than 2 months passed. I did not hear back from anyone.
Advice to Two Sigma people: please do not waste people's time. I spent my Sunday evening for your boring test.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Decode a string encoded using a specific encoding algorithm.
It started of with one phone screen, then if you pass you have 2 back to back technicals, then 3 1 hour behaviorals, hiring committee, and management committee. Standard Leetcode and behavioral questions.
