Candidate-reported interview process

It was a 3 step process that mixed technical and behavioural questions. First, we talked about my resume, going over every project and internship experience and what I learned from them. Second, it was a technical round where they asked about my technical projects, the tools I used, and the logic behind using a particular framework. Third, there was a behavioural round where they asked about team management.

It was a standard interview process. They asked questions about my work experience, SQL, Python, and statistics. Sometimes puzzles were included. Make sure to prepare based on the job description.

We did live coding to solve technical problems using sql and pandas. Had to explain the logic behind the answers. Then followed up with hr work ethic questionnaires where they asked about situations with other departments or shareholders.
