Interview Tips

Interview Process

Every interview at Two Sigma is a bit different because we want your experience to be relevant to you, your background, and the roles we’re considering you for. To help you get ready to come see us we’ve outlined how to prepare and what to expect.

Logistics

Confirm Your Interview Location

Double check your interview confirmation for address and timing. (Two Sigma New York has two buildings on opposite sides of the street).

Be Mindful Of Time

Leave yourself some cushion time to account for bad traffic or unforeseen delays.

Bring Your ID

You’ll be required to show ID at the reception desk when you check into the building, so make sure to bring one and allow for extra time.

Have Your Resume Handy

If you update your resume just prior to your interview, make sure to email it to us in advance or bring copies.

How to prepare

Be Yourself

  • Dress Comfortably

    We don’t have a dress code. Folks come to work in anything from a suit to jeans and a t-shirt – the same goes for you. We recommend wearing what you feel is appropriate and comfortable.

  • Think Through Your Story

    We want to hear about your failures just as much as your successes. In both cases we’re most interested in what you’ve learned from them.

  • Be Prepared With Questions

    Interviews are a two-way conversation, so feel free to bring questions and look forward to a good discussion.

  • Relax

    We know interviewing can be a nerve-wracking experience. If you’re nervous, just tell us. We want you to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible.
