Technical Coding
First round was technical. The coding problem felt way harder than what other candidates apparently got. The interviewer wasn't very responsive and didn't interact much. I felt a bit disrespected. Couldn't read any emotion from the interviewer, and they gave no feedback. They seemed to only care about the outcome, not how I thought through it.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Were there two probability questions, and one coding problem (dynamic programming)?

Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation
The interview process started with a phone call with senior management. This was followed by a full-day, one-on-one interview with 4-6 people, including a lunch break where they provided food. The questions asked during this round felt unvetted and random. Most of the interviewers were personable, except for one person who claimed to be a founder. This individual avoided eye contact and acted as if they were woken up mid-dream, which raised concerns about the company culture and whether it would be a good fit. It seems they should review their process and tools because they appear arbitrary and unlikely to yield the desired outcomes. None of the questions found on Glassdoor were asked. They also require signing an NDA before the interview.

- Regarding permutation and combination, can you solve a problem that seems more suited for a quantitative role?

Coding Technical
The interviewer was super rude and impolite, like they were against me the whole time. They started with an easy coding question, which I solved fast. The interviewer sarcastically said, 'Oh you obviously prepared for that.' Then came a few basic probability questions. I usually think out loud, but they cut me off rudely, saying, 'you do not need to think out loud, just tell me the answer and that's all I care.' When I asked for clarification, they said, 'come on, you're a statistician.' Seriously the rudest interviewer I've ever met. Got rejected two weeks later, but honestly, I didn't want to work there anyway. Good thing I already got offers from companies I like better.
Confirmed questions2 questions

The recruiter reached out and was great with the process. There was an initial screen interview that was behavioral for 30 min with 15 min being a technical walkthrough of a problem. Then there were 5 more rounds of technical interviews.
