Had a first call with the recruiter where we mostly talked about why I'm interested in this job and some other HR stuff. After that, I had a second call with the Hiring Manager, who was some Director. He asked me about my past experience and projects. He was a typical entitled Indian interviewer - rude, impatient, never let me complete my answer, interrupting my flow for every sentence.

After applying on the career portal, I was contacted by Riley who invited me to take an initial SQL Test, which I had to complete in under an hour. This was the fastest response I've ever gotten from any company, and Riley was super helpful throughout. Next, there was an HR screening, followed by 4 more interviews with different team members. Everyone was really nice and patient. Riley kept me updated, gave me info about the interviewers, and checked in to help with any questions. I really liked her fast, proactive, and inclusive hiring approach. The whole process was surprisingly quick, reassuring, and inclusive.

Coding Behavioral
First, there was a SQL online round, which was pretty easy. Then, I had an interview with a team member. This person was really arrogant and only seemed interested in answers they agreed with. They weren't open to any discussion and seemed to take the interview very casually, not even asking about my background. It felt like a waste of time.

- Could you explain the difference between bias and variance?
