The interview process was really fun, honestly my favorite set of interviews. They were polite and professional, and I felt like they were genuinely interested in me as a person, not just my math or technical skills. It was about 4 or 5 rounds, with a small take-home report in between. The questions were very practical and related to real-world data science problems in games.

Lots of informal chats with different teams globally, as this job involved working across many groups. There was also a technical assessment. It felt like a good chance to ask questions from both sides. The teams in the US were a bit quieter.

I only had an HR Screen, but it was a really weird experience. The HR person was super late, like 20-30 minutes past our scheduled time, right at the end of the day. I tried to ask some basic questions about the job, like what projects they were working on, what the future plans were, and what they wanted in a data scientist, but they couldn't answer anything. They said they'd have to check with the hiring manager for all the details. I got rejected a few days later. It was just really odd.
