You'll have one online interview with 2-3 interviewers from different departments. They'll walk you through the process at the start and tell you which group you'd fit well in. You can choose multiple groups on your application, and they'll likely assess you for them in that single online interview. The interviewers were really professional and friendly!

It was super easy to set up and felt really personal. They asked simple things like why I wanted to work there, what skills I could bring, and what qualifications I had. They also wanted to know how good I was with data and if I was passionate about data science.
