Process
Quick and flexible. The test was given by HackerRank and there was a three-hour time limit.
However, the compiler didn't support #include <vector>. Therefore, all efforts and time were wasted. I don't think they even looked at the code to determine the next round.

An amazing company... once upon a time
Software Development Engineer • Current Employee
March 20, 2019
Pros: Work-life balance is still okay, though getting worse.
Cons: Rife with politics, culture is now completely taken over by ex-Goldman Sachs employees. Once, this place had the best benefits, but one by one, they've been removed as "cost-cutting measures." Reorgs happen all the time, and a lot of the best talent is slowly leaving.

Pros: By far some of the smartest people I've ever worked with. The culture of Two Sigma really promotes collaboration, and respect in the workplace is highly emphasized.
Cons: Teams are incredibly lean and, depending on the department, understaffed. This creates a heavy support burden at times. Certain departments also carry a scary amount of technical debt.
