The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Feb 2011
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter the next day after my application. The recruiter asked for some sample code from some recent projects. After I submitted the code for a couple of projects I had worked on, I was contacted for the first (phone)) interview. The response were very fast. My interviewer was very polite and seemed very smart.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the sum of the digits of all the numbers from 1 to 1000000? This is different from the sum of the numbers. For instance the sum of the numbers from 1 to 10 is 55 whereas the sum of the digits is 46.

Probability questions, nothing crazy but quite open ended, they want to know your thought process and calculations. Pen and paper allowed but no calculator. No OA, a few rounds and got rejected. Zoom call with a trader.
