I cannot go into specifics, but the questions were all very reasonable for the subject area. The common thread was that practically all questions were asked in an open ended manner, which I believe weeds out fakers and also helps to glean your personality and communication skills. I would also commend the interviewers ability to be personable and helpful. When I had to remember some academic information, I was never punished for forgetting minutiae, they would always give a nudge in the right direction. Some might argue Google leans on the CS academia questions to heavily, whereas I would say Jane Street definitely seems to be more interested in general intelligence and applicable knowledge relative to the role. I have the upmost respect for their procedure.

There is a lot of interview questions. It starts with a phone interview before you can even qualify. Basic network knowledge for the phone interview will suit, but you must be able to answer questions about basic firewall knowledge, Microsoft Windows Server knowledge, majority of what is used in business today.
