After applying on Handshake, I waited to get to step two, which was to set up a coding/technical interview. About three weeks after the interview, I received an offer letter.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was great. I first did a phone evaluation, but unfortunately, I didn't make it through because I wasn't as prepared as I should have been. They asked about my background and experience. The interviewer was the manager of the team, so I learned about the portfolio and projects during the call.

Technical Coding Presentation
There wasn't a formal intro about the role or company, but I had several one-on-one chats with potential teammates and managers. They didn't really go over my past experience much or give a general overview. The interviews were quite technical, asking me to demonstrate coding or modeling skills (I had a neural net modeling task). It wrapped up with a panel where I had to present a past technical challenge.

Behavioral Technical
It took 3 months from when I sent my CV until they started the interview process. I had forgotten I even sent it. The first interview was a phone interview with a regular employee who didn't seem to have much decision power. Then I had an HR interview and a manager interview, though the manager wasn't in my future reporting line. After that, I had several conference call interviews.
