Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation
So, the interview process spanned about 3 months with 8 rounds of interviews total. There was a 5-hour in-person superday and a technical take-home assessment. The people were nice, but honestly, the interview experience was super unprofessional and disorganized. HR totally ignored my other offer deadlines and would just randomly add new interview rounds, giving me really short notice. In the end, I got rejected via some automated email after they strung me along for 3 months. Also, the compensation they offered wasn't competitive at all; they act like a quant firm but don't pay like one.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process had 3 rounds. One round was mainly behavioral, and the other two were with people on the data science team. It was a very chill and overall great interview experience. There were a lot of resume questions, questions about previous data science experience, some of my favorite Python libraries, and basic statistics questions.
