The interview process had 4 rounds. First, a screen with a senior DS. Then, a technical interview. After that, a quick call with HR. Finally, a behavioral interview with the senior team. The questions were reasonable, and the people were nice and supportive. Everything was virtual and took place over a few weeks.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
I spoke with two directors. It felt like they just wanted me to list my experience like a robot. I had to really communicate and talk about a business case analysis, machine learning, and my project experience. They didn't ask too much about my resume, but they did mention it. They said I'd hear back in a week.

Behavioral Technical
I had a good interview overall. It was mostly behavioural questions, with a few questions about projects and jobs on my resume. I didn't get the job, but I'll try again! This was for the coop (internship) position, not a full-time one. I interviewed in my second year of undergrad.
