I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Jefferies (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
Got one phone interview for 15-min and the manager invited me to their Super day during the following week. During the onsite I interviewed with 6 managers, while two rounds are behavioral and situaltional problems, and one round is pure statistics.
OA, first round, then spd.
There are 3 x 30mins interview rounds, one for tech, one for general questions, and the last one is more about behavioral questions. The process went faster than expected.
