It was a 3-stage process. First, I had a chat with the hiring manager about my past work. Then, there was a technical interview that involved SQL, Python, and some brain teasers. Finally, an HR interview wrapped things up.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online to the Credit Risk, Global Risk Decision Science team and then got an interview invite about 2 weeks later. A Recruiter Talent Acquisition person emailed me and set up a 30 min phone screen. They started by going over the job description and what the interview process would be like. Then they asked me about my work visa, my past experiences, and my reasons for looking for a new job. Interesting point: the job post online didn't mention anything about "coaching and mentoring" but the recruiter said it's part of the role. It's a good idea to ask for clarification on that!
