Please describe the interview / hiring process.
First interview with HR, general questions about background. Then, two technical interviews, one focused on maths/proba, the other one on coding. Questions are fairly standard/ green book level, and for programming it's around medium leetcode level.

Upon completion of these rounds, you get invited fo an onsite super day consisting mainly in a 6 hour long data exercise. You are basically handed a dataset, and you are ask to both analyse it and construct a predictive model from it. After that, you present your result to a researcher for one hour. At the end of the day, there is also a more finance focused interview with a higher ranking researcher.
