Candidate-reported interview process

The first part was a virtual case study, pretty much like a data science case question you'd see at a major tech company. The second part felt like a consulting interview, with basic math but no deep data science knowledge required.

The last stage interviews were onsite and consisted of 3 separate rounds. The overall vibe was relaxed and friendly, and everyone there was super nice. The three rounds included 2 technical and 1 behavioral. They said a decision would be made within a week.

The first step was a 45-minute online DS case study. Then, the final stage involved three 1-hour onsite interviews. These included a hard DS case study, an easy Quantitative case study, and a regular behavior interview.
