Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Jane Street developers and principals project a "holier-than-thou" image. They are too good for you.

The homogeneity of this cluster of like-minded people is also their undoing; alternate viewpoints and backgrounds are looked down upon. Such attitudes are already endemic within the entire OCaml community, but Jane Street takes them to a whole new level.

The probability of joining this company is less than 10^(-5), according to a newspaper ranking of the top 10 hardest companies to get into. I'd argue that it's not worth it to even consider Jane Street seriously; there are no learning experiences to be had from contacting this OCaml shop.
