Disappointing Interview Experience with D.E. Shaw
I recently interviewed with D.E. Shaw, and it turned out to be one of the most draining experiences I’ve had. The interviewer’s approach felt unnecessarily harsh and dismissive, which made the entire process uncomfortable. At multiple points, the interviewer asked me to drop off the call, even when I tried asking basic questions about the designation, job description, and other details. After the interview, I found myself sitting there for a few minutes, trying to process what just happened. It left me questioning the overall tone and professionalism of the interview. Definitely not the experience I was expecting from such a well-known firm.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - This round is what put me off from this company. I was asked about my previous job and work profile, the basic stuff. After that, I was asked if I would be comfortable in staying in the office after hours. On top of that, I was told that Saturdays are off BUT if I want to come to the office to work that day I can. I don't understand the point of having a Saturday off if you expect your employee to turn up that day. Also, isn't working for the agreed upon working hours enough? You want me to stay in the office for longer! Even though the people who were interviewing me were respectful and sweet, I just couldn't get past the above mentioned bizarre expectations they had.
