1. 1ApplicationTypicalOnline application with resume. Networking often decides who is read closely.
2. 2Online assessmentTypicalCoding and math tests online, often timed.
3. 3Phone screenTypicalProbability, statistics, and coding questions with an engineer or researcher.
4. 4First roundStated by Two SigmaInterviews are held over video conferencing, several on the same day on one meeting link, and may end early if there is not a fit after a few interviews.
5. 5Final roundTypicalSeveral interviews across research and engineering, including a deeper project discussion.
6. 6OfferTypicalUsually within days of the final round.

Timing between stages shows on each program page once students report it. Firms change formats by year and office; the firm's own invite is the final word.
