Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Though technical questions were not that difficult but the quant section was way too hard and almost impossible to solve completely in given time limit.
Tips: It’s better if you attempt less questions (in quant) but do them right (I attempted less than 40% quant and still got through).

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Next they would have 2-3 technical rounds where they cover most of the areas of CS. Some of the areas where they concentrated more would be Algorithms, OOPS Concepts and Logical Puzzles.
Tips: Brush up important concepts from various areas such as Operating System, OOPS, Software Engineering. Be ready for some really challenging questions in Algorithms. Also they do ask quite a few logical puzzles so it’s important you practice a lot of them online before the interview.

General Tips: D E Shaw selects very few candidates + comes in starting weeks of placement season, so competition is immense. Multiple companies come on same day, so it becomes a little tedious. Surely I wasn't the better candidate that day.
Skill Tips: D E Shaw focuses more on your ability to solve logical problems, so make sure you are in best state of your mind and speak while solving any problem because what they are looking for is not the right answer (well of course they are) but also how are you approaching the problem.
Skills: Operating System, OOPS, Algorithms, CS, logical puzzles, Quant
