I'm applying for positions and the online form only allows GPAs to two digits. My overall GPA is 3.689/4.000 -- would I raise red flags if I put 3.69 or should I put 3.68? Thanks.

Nope. If you get far enough where they ask for a transcript, you can include that detail in the email. I was actually told my friend at UBS to round up to one decimal. I didn't have any questions or problems, but it's good to be proactive about it in case you have someone who is anal about that type of thing.

Eliminate all decimals and round it to 4.
Put 3.700
I don't like the idea of always rounding to 1 digit. In OP's case, a 3.7 GPA can be anything between a 3.650 and 3.749. Why dumb yourself down if you can put a 3.749?
In OP's case obviously it would help him, since he's rounding up. But blindly rounding to one digit is counter productive to me. I personally just list my GPA as it appears on my transcript. No rounding whatsoever.
