Four hours of people asking questions more relevant to a psychological study than a job interview. Clearly, the eight individuals I was questioned by were trying to see if I was the correct "cultural fit". However, the divergence of questions showed that these eight individuals were not on the same page as to what their company's culture actually was as I found contradictions in their answers to my questions. Unfortunately, this interview process was a waste of half of a day as the organization clearly did not understand what they were looking for. In other words, this was a fishing expedition that only cost me my time. In fact, nearly eight months later, I saw that they were still "looking" to fill this role.

Question 1
What do you regret about your life?
If you could do something over again, what would you do over?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Two Sigma (New York, NY)
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter. Went in for two face-to-face interviews, a case study, and group outing. Were very friendly throughout the entire process but never got back to me when it came time to make a hiring decision. Met with a lot of different individuals in the company who work closely with HR as well as the entire human resources team.
