Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The process began with an HR screen focused on my research background and career motivations. This was followed by two 60-minute technical Zoom interviews. These rounds were rigorous, covering mostly my past experience.
The Onsite: The onsite consisted of five back-to-back rounds, including a live coding session.
Advice for Candidates: Do not just focus on the 'correct' answer. The interviewers are more interested in your thought process regarding edge cases and data non-stationarity. For senior roles, demonstrate how your research translates directly into P&L and be prepared to defend your modeling choices under scrutiny.
