The interview process was complex, but overall a great experience. I definitely recommend trying to apply and learning from the process for future job interviews. It was pretty good, I'd do it again without a doubt. Good luck to everyone else signing up and trying to apply.

First, you have to do an algorithm test on their website. This test can be taken online, so it's easy to share answers, but be careful as they check for similarity. After the algorithm test, there's a statistical question test. They seem easy at first glance, but they all have little tricks. After the online tests, the interview is next. They'll ask you to share stories about your experiences and then ask some technical questions about basic machine learning and statistical inference.
