I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Jefferies (New York, NY) in Nov 2017
Interview
This was for the role of a Python Software Engineer at the Strategic Investment Division hedge fund at Jefferies in midtown Manhattan. They are rewriting a back office reporting system which has a legacy implementation using Java and Perl. The rewritten version is to use Python 3, Tornado (async), Docker, REST, Kafka, and Pandas. I was connected to the hedge fund via a recruiter. I first had a phone interview which lasted thirty minutes. I then had an on-site interview which lasted 4.5 hours. After one week of the on-site interview, I received feedback that I did insufficiently well in the data structures portion.

Interview
I was told to meet the hiring manager at the first round on-site interview. However, the hiring manager disappeared and the front desk knew nothing about the interview. The recruiter reconnected me with one of the team members, so that I was able to get in. The interview lasted from 9am to maybe 2pm, with only water for refreshment.
I was later asked to do a second round of on-site interview, which was the same as the first one, except that the hiring manager appeared at last. Later, I received a rejection from the hiring manager citing a reason that was simply the opposite of what I had said during the interview and written on my resume.
