Technical Behavioral
I applied online and heard back from a recruiter in a few weeks. I had one technical interview with an engineer from the team, but it didn't go great. They didn't ask me any coding questions. After that, I didn't hear anything back.

Behavioral Technical
Had lots of video calls with different company folks. Started with resume stuff and then got more technical. Got to the offer stage once and then they ghosted. Went through it all again two years later, had a really good initial chat but didn't move forward. Took them almost 4 weeks to get back to me.

It was 4 rounds total: HR, 2 technical rounds, and a final senior manager behavioral interview. The overall process was good, no issues. The recruiter was quick to respond and clear about everything, and I got an offer not long after the final interview.

Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation
The entire interview process spanned approximately five days. It kicked off with a phone interview on the first day, covering my resume and some technical queries. The next phase involved a take-home analysis project using R, where I was given about three days to complete it. The final stage was a panel interview, which included questions about my experience, technical aspects of R and C++, some statistics, and problem-solving challenges. It seems my lack of finance background was noted as a drawback.

- Can you define encapsulation in the context of C++?
