It was a 3-round interview process. The first round was a 45-min chat about my project experience. The second round had two parts: a 1-hour R coding interview and a 1-hour Python coding interview. The third round was a 2-hour session covering projects, modeling, and behavioral questions, followed by a 1-hour panel discussion where they asked about how I approach various DS problems.
