Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Never in my life had I felt so humiliated!
After the phone interview, I was invited to their office in downtown NYC. The on-site interview was supposed to be two parts: one before lunch and then another one after.
I went through the first half just fine, and it felt like the interviewer and I totally clicked. But then, during lunch with two other employees, apparently I said something that they didn't like?
So, as soon as we went back to the office, they dropped the bomb that they wouldn't continue with the rest of the interview without any explanation!
I was never so dumbfounded and humiliated.
That was it.

Two Sigma Work Experiences
- 3.0Good Pay, Bad ManagementSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesSeptember 6, 2024Pros: - Lots of money - Good work-life balanceCons: - Poor management structure. - Working at 2 Sigma.
- 5.0Tech company vibe in the hedge fund spaceSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesNovember 10, 2023Pros: Good work/life balance, feeling not so much different from Google and its previous positions. An almost obsessively tech-driven approach to investment. Nice location at Soho (as compared to mid-town like some banks). Generous home-from-home policy. People often say bad things about hedge funds in general, but TS has a generally pretty friendly culture.Cons: There is no food provided (albeit it has decent snack bars). People like work-from-home a lot, to the point it is a bit hard to feel I belong here as a new joiner. Tech debt is often overlooked in a way that would not be tolerated at Google. The in-house eng tools are sometimes not state-of-the-art. Some signs of red-taping are observed, which I believe is a bad sign for non-executive level employees.
- 4.0Wfh Great, Team Chemistry LowSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesNovember 22, 2024Pros: • generous WFH policy if that is your thing. • obsession with systematic approach.Cons: A generous WFH policy means the office is quite empty, so if you want some chemistry among colleagues, it might be hard to find. A recent CEO change does not look very geek-friendly; that might impact the culture in the future.
