Candidate-reported interview process

There were several stages, but it wasn't particularly difficult. One of the interviews was in English, which did require a higher level of proficiency. The rest were average interviews. However, the conditions were quite normal.

So the interview process started with an intro, then we talked about my past work experience and they asked follow up questions based on that. After that, there was a moderate SQL question, followed by some moderate probability questions. Then came some puzzles, and then business cases where we had to do RCA and actions. They also asked questions about the company, and finished with some guesstimates.

started with a quick chat with the recruiter, then went through three rounds of interviews. the last one was a panel where I had to do a case study and present it on a business problem within the time limit.
