They really focused on my English skills and made me do an English comprehension test where I had to translate a text as fast as I could. After that, I had more interviews with the HR team and the general manager. Looking back, I figured if they were really interested, there would have been more interviews. About a month later, they told me I wasn't moving forward, even though I thought I did pretty well in the interviews. Then they had me talk to the HR team and the general manager for follow-up interviews. I'm guessing if they were really interested, they would have scheduled more interviews... They didn't tell me I wasn't considered until about a month later. I thought I nailed my interview.

The interview experience was great. They asked questions that were technically sound and relevant, covering a good mix of coding and econometrics. The questions also touched on my past experience and any certifications I have listed on my resume.
