There were a few rounds. One was about background, another was a coding round focused on convolution. Then there was a round where I had to do a presentation showing my previous research, and another round testing my knowledge of deep learning.

Technical Coding Case Presentation
It was a technical phone screen, then a data challenge, followed by an onsite interview that included a presentation. The onsite also had coding and problem-solving parts, plus the presentation of your work. This whole process took a lot of time, and honestly, I felt like they were more focused on seeing if I was a fit for them rather than the other way around. The data challenge and the presentation, in particular, were massive time sinks, which I kind of regret now. The data science team seems to be mostly made up of astrophysics PhDs, so keep that in mind if you're thinking about working there.

- Could you code a histogram?
- Can you devise an algorithm to decide which section of land to photograph to get the most oil wells?

Behavioral Technical
Phone screen followed by a data challenge. It was a really nice interview with fair questions. Felt like they knew what they wanted. The phone screen was mostly about my interest in the company and a look at my resume relating to their work. Make sure you know their basic products.
