It was a three step process. First, a call with the recruiter where they asked standard questions about my background and how I would fit into the role. Second, I was selected for a case study where I had to create a PowerPoint Presentation to showcase my ability to organize and present data. Third, a group interview via Webex with standard interview questions.

It was pretty simple. First, I had to record myself answering some questions on their website. Then, if they liked my answers, someone reached out for a phone interview. They seemed to move quickly and didn't waste any time.
