Coding Behavioral Other
Applied online and waited 2 weeks for a take-home assignment which took 1 week to complete. After that, there were two Skype interviews. The process was very slow and disorganized, lacking structure. They also didn't seem to have HR managers.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process involved discussions about GRE scores, GPA, coursework, prior research endeavors, and extracurricular involvement. It was a really nice and friendly chat. They tended to ask general questions that required elaboration. Examples included inquiries about the motivation behind specific research, future career aspirations within the industry, and details about other institutions the applicant was considering. Following this, I had the opportunity to ask many questions about the university, its environment, specific courses, enrollment procedures, accommodation options, and tuition fees.
