Candidate-reported interview process

Had a 20 min phone interview, although it was scheduled for 45 min. It was mainly behavioral questions and some data analysis questions, surprisingly not very technical for a data scientist role, no coding or algorithm questions.

First, the interviewers introduced the company and themselves, then they asked me how I found out about the company and why I was interested in applying. After that, we moved on to discussing my projects; due to time constraints, I focused on two specific projects to highlight my experience. Finally, there was a brainstorm question, which is detailed below.

It was an all-afternoon interview process with multiple 1-on-1 rounds. They included skills interviews, math interviews, and some resume review. There was a short break, about 5-10 minutes, between each two interviews.
