Process
Phone interview for the HackerRank coding part. The task was pretty easy: 30-40 lines of code, using probability rules. The problem was the interviewer. I think he was from Asia, and his English was non-existent. Obviously, it's very hard to answer questions you can't understand.
I wish Two Sigma would screen their interviewers based on language skills, not only programming language.

Solid place to work
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: A lot of nice and smart people. Good pay, good work-life balance.
Cons: Two CEOs caused issues. Leadership had overhired in the past, leading to layoffs.

Wfh Great, Team Chemistry Low
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
November 22, 2024
Pros: • 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.
5.0
Tech company vibe in the hedge fund space
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
November 10, 2023
Pros: 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.
