J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Jane Street en avr. 2011
Entretien
The process consisted of 3 phone interviews (I suspect that there is a last one in their office).
The first interview was about general math and concepts of computer science/functional programming. I had a few brain teasers (7^3, number of edges in a cube, a classic dice roll exercise).
The second interview was centered around designing algorithms, so mainly computer science related. The idea was to shuffle, sort and use arrays.
The last interview was mostly puzzles, including a rather complicated dice roll exercise and a puzzle.

Had a phone interview with one of their devs. 45 mins long. Had three questions. They gave me an API and I had to use it to solve some basic questions. Would be a good question to revise Hashing, Data Structures. Wasn't too specific on complexity.

I applied online and received an email a few weeks later from a recruiter for a technical phone interview, which lasted for an hour.
I got a response within days, they invited me to an onsite interview where they did two interviews ~45 each, coding on a provided laptop. I stumbled for a bit trying to find an efficient solution. The interviewers were friendly, guiding me with possible improvements and pointing out edge cases. I got the email a week later saying they would be looking for other candidates.
