Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

I had two phone interviews with DE Shaw, each lasting an hour.

Neither of them was very technical.

I expected to be asked brain teasers, given that DE Shaw is known for them, or at least a coding question. Instead, I received a lot of behavioral questions or requests to explain the projects I've done.
