The interview process started with an aptitude test, then I had to send in 3 video answers, and after that there were 2 interview rounds. Everything went smoothly, but I never found out why I didn't get selected after the last interview.

I got referred for the role and an HR person called me quickly. Then the hiring manager for the team I'd be joining did a phone screen with me. After I passed that, I was invited to their Hyderabad campus for 3 more interviews. I interviewed with a team member, the dev manager, and my potential future manager. They focused on my business knowledge and my past experience, looking for candidates with strong domain expertise and in-depth systems understanding.

The interview had a screening round over the phone, and then they called me for an on-site interview. The on-site interviews consisted of just one round. They wanted to see if I was a good fit and if my past experience was relevant. The interviewers were pretty relaxed, and the whole experience at DE Shaw's Hyderabad office was really memorable.
