I had a video chat with the team lead, which was a pretty chill and conversational experience. The questions weren't tough, and everyone was really nice. The company came across as professional. The interview was on Zoom, and I don't have any complaints.

Behavioral Presentation

It was a two-round interview process. The first round involved meeting with managers from research, marketing, and operations. After that, the research manager asked me to prepare a presentation about EMH. The second round began with my presentation, and a founding partner joined unexpectedly to observe and take notes.
