DE Shaw insights

Seeking insights on DE Shaw: Performance, recruitment, etc. I've heard rumors about their ultra-selective hiring process, with standards supposedly higher than 2sig or Citadel. Can anyone confirm if they ever lived up to such reputation? Additionally, curious about their compensation structure and track record. Am thinking of giving it a try but found so few public info about them. Any intel appreciated!
