Behavioral Technical
The interview was pretty chill and easygoing. It started with a quick hello and some general questions about my background. The interviewer was more interested in getting to know me, what I'm into, and my career aspirations rather than asking super technical stuff. It felt more like a chat than a formal interview. Overall, it was a friendly and comfortable experience.

Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation
Started with an online application where I had to explain why I wanted the role and how my background fit. Then there was an online technical test covering Python, basic SQL, dataframes, and using an API to get data from a website. The last interview was with two data scientists where we discussed my motivations for working at MM, cloud computing technicalities, and some behavioral questions. The interviewers were friendly, but one seemed disengaged, which was a bit of a downer.

- How would you handle a situation where your manager tells you to abandon a project midway to start a new one?
- Could you explain a technical concept in a very simple way for us?
