Behavioral Technical
After applying, I was contacted by a recruiter within a few days for the initial interview. This was followed by a conversation with the hiring manager. Subsequently, I was invited to an in-person interview with the manager of the role and their team. This onsite meeting lasted about 90 minutes and included two separate interview segments with a break in between where I observed the team's daily activities and met some members. The first part of the interview was with my potential direct supervisor, and the second part was with someone who had previously held the position and had been with the company for a while. Unfortunately, there was no follow-up communication from the recruiter or manager after the interview, nor did I receive any automated updates. The application tracking system didn't provide status visibility, and ultimately, no offer was extended or any notification given about my candidacy status.

Technical Behavioral
It took about 5 months total. They initially canceled the role, but then HR reached out a while later with some screening questions. After a few more email exchanges, an interview was set up. The first interview with the model development team was pretty relaxed and friendly. However, the second interview included an unexpected person who asked questions that I should have known, but they weren't brought up by the previous interviewers.

Technical Coding Behavioral
I interviewed for two positions, Data Scientist I Risk and VP, Risk. My banking background was a strong match for both. I spoke with both hiring managers and had good discussions, answering all their questions based on my experience. I also completed HackerRank LeetCode questions correctly. Despite this, I was rejected. The compensation was also extremely low. It seems there's no shortage of candidates, or hiring managers have unrealistically high expectations these days, even for standard roles.

Behavioral Technical
For this entry-level Risk Analyst role, there were 4 interview rounds. The first step was an HR screening that was done via email, so I emailed back my answers to their questions. The whole interview process was very smooth. Since it was an entry-level position, the interviews were mostly behavioral with just a few technical questions. I'd suggest applying with your work portfolio and samples. I previously applied for a Data Analyst position without a work sample and got rejected, but the second time I applied with my work portfolio, I got an interview.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Could you explain the difference between logistic regression and linear regression?
