Interview
Phone Interview. Started with review of research followed by standard probability puzzles and brainteasers.
Interview Questions
Some question about correlation in the absence of linear dependence. The question was vague and hence I couldn't answer.

1) Given a series of prices, find the one buy/sell trade pair which gives the maximum profit
2) Modification of 1. For the same prices, find the maximum profit possible with any number of buy/sell allowed (at each step/price, you can buy, sell or do nothing, no short sell allowed)

Overall interview process was enjoyable. They were professional throughout, keeping me informed about the status.
