Candidate-reported interview process
First round was really behavioral, and they asked one easy stats/finance question about diversification. Mostly, we just chatted about my past experience. The interviewer was chill.
The interview process included a 30-minute MC questions round focusing on probability math and CS Core Fundamentals like OOPs, DBMS, OS, and Networking. The first round was a deep dive into the resume. The second round involved live coding on HackerRank, with DSA questions that weren't too difficult, emphasizing basic coding skills, plus statistics and math problems. This was followed by an onsite interview consisting of four hours of back-to-back interviews.
It was pretty standard. I had to take an OA then two technical rounds before a superday, which was a series of short meetings with analysts and other directors at the firm.
