Technical Coding
It was a chill interview, kinda like a math class with a cool teacher. You gotta solve stuff, sometimes with help, sometimes on your own. They gave math-y problems that mostly needed quick thinking. Telling them how you're thinking is key. They'd give hints if you got stuck and let you take your time. Good idea to brush up on algorithms beforehand.

First, there was a call where they talked about the company, the team, and the role. Then, a main interview where I introduced myself, we discussed logic and knowledge, and they described the team. After that, I had a programming home assignment to do, followed by a code review. Finally, an HR and CTO interview, which was a really open and sensitive process that was very inspiring.

I had an in-person interview with the data science leader, where they asked me logical and mathematical questions. Then, I was given a 24-hour take-home assignment, which was followed by an interview to discuss it. After that, I interviewed with the VP of R&D, and finally, there was an HR interview. Ultimately, I received a contract offer.
