Technical Behavioral

I interviewed with a few engineers on the team. They asked me questions about statistical analysis, deep learning, and optimization. They were also interested in learning about my previous projects, including how I implemented them, what my contribution was, and the impact of the modeling work.

Behavioral

The whole thing took about three months but the recruiter ghosted me. Super unprofessional and messed up. I sent follow-up emails and got zero response, which I found disrespectful and wrong. Waiting forever is way worse than a rejection.

  • Could you start by telling me a bit about yourself?

Behavioral Technical Case

I had a long, informal chat with the head of HR. It was mostly a get-to-know-you session with a few behavioral questions. Then I spoke with the VP of Data Science about my experience and some critical thinking stuff. After that, I went back to interview with the head of research. It was another informal chat about my work, not super technical. They seemed really focused on seeing if I'd be a good fit overall. Got a verbal offer the evening after the third interview.
