I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Jefferies (New York, NY) in Nov 2025
Interview
When I applied, first got an OA which I cleared 100%. Then within 2 weeks, got notified that I have been selected for first round interview. The interview was 30 mins with 70% technical and 30% behavioral. They test you on your projects and a couple of basic technical questions that any Software Engineer should know.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Then they ask about some behavioral questions such as "How do you manage time when you have academics and multiple projects to work on"? "What are your thoughts on GenAI and should it be used in companies? If so, then how would you ensure that you are good at using it to be more efficient?"
Hackerrank style coding challenge sent out a few weeks after applying - Python, SQL (probably Leetcode easy) + quantitative multiple choice questions, felt it was pretty straightforward but didn't hear back after that
