Technical Presentation Behavioral
It was a pretty long interview process, with several rounds that got progressively harder. It ended with a presentation where I had to do a pitch using some sample data they gave me. Even though it was a lot, it was good because I got to really learn about the company and its culture, which helped me decide if it was the right fit for me.

Technical Case Presentation
The interview process started with a phone screener, then a 1:1 with a team member. A data project and presentation were required afterwards. The overall process was pretty smooth, and the HR person was helpful. I was a bit thrown off by a short 'case' part that wasn't super technical but was unexpected. I got to the data project stage, but didn't get the offer since they were looking for more advanced analytics methods.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online via campus recruiting and had a first-round interview on campus. Two data analysts from the firm interviewed me. They were friendly and mostly asked about my resume. No technical questions were asked, but they were really interested in the data analysis projects on my resume. I didn't go to the second round super day because I accepted another offer, but the interview experience was great and it seemed like a good place to work!

Behavioral Technical Case
I applied online and had a virtual interview. I spoke with two team members who wanted to learn more about me. They asked about my resume and then gave me some graph-related questions to check my analytical skills. A few weeks later, I had a "Superday" which was two hours long and I met four new team members. They asked similar questions and also some logic puzzles.
