Please describe the interview / hiring process.
After applying, I was invited to the next stage, which was and OA with 18 probability questions in 30 minutes, which had negative marking for incorrect answers. Then I moved on to the next phase, which included 2 6-minute tests, which were comprised of mental maths and sequences. Then I was invited to the next stage, which was a series of 5 cognitive games on the Arctic Shores platform. After that I had an on-demand interview which had the questions "What are you passionate about outside your academic life?" and "If today is Monday, what day will it be in 80 days?" Then I was invited to the first round interview, which lasted 15 minutes. It included mental maths percentage questions, a question on confidence intervals and to compare 10^40 to 40!, and then a combinatorial problem about extracting different coloured cubes randomly and the probabilities for the towers they would make. I did not advance to the final in-person interviews.
