De Shaw Research recruitment

[walkhard]

Hello to all,

I got this recruitment email from De Shaw research group. It didn't seem to be a generic recruitment email as it mentioned about the things I was doing, and asked for my resume.

Do anyone have any experience with their recruitment process, or also have received a similar email?

Yes.

DEShaw is a little unusual in that they are the only company that I know of that cares about your test scores, so if you write your resume for them, you should emphasis high test scores and GPA's, and things like math competitions. Also the interview is a series of math puzzles similar to the ones that you get in math olympiads.

Here is a link to the glassdoor page on the DeShaw interview process. They have people comment on their experience.
