Based on the most helpful WSO content, D.E. Shaw is known for being somewhat unpredictable with their communication timelines. A user previously mentioned that if you haven't heard back within 24-48 hours after an interview, it might not be a good sign, as they tend to ghost candidates before eventually rejecting them. However, another user shared that they received a superday invite two weeks after completing their case study, so there is still a chance for updates.
If they mentioned they would update you this week, it might be worth waiting a few more days. If no response comes through, consider following up politely to inquire about your application status.
Did you ever end up hearing back?
Yeah I had a super day and then got dropped.
Hi, could you tell me about the interview process. How does the first round interview look like?
I submitted my case study back in second week of March and they haven't responded yet. It's insane
Was in a similar situation but then had a super day at the end of April and got rejected after. Have you heard back yet?
nope, I am already assuming I am rejected. I was from a non target with 3 no-name brand internships but had ISEF semifinal only.
How was the first round? Have mine sometime in the next 2 weeks
Very stressful personally and I think I under performed but still ended up getting the case study. Got dropped after super day. What about you?
How was the first round?
A bunch of strategy questions. I thought I bombed it hut got Super day and then got rejected eventually
