Process
They picked me up from the pool. I was kind of shocked because my major skill sets are not that related.
The first round was a phone screen from the hiring manager, and I got a lot of questions related to stats and machine learning.
The second round, I was asked to do a 3-day small project on coding and math, based on C and Python. It was really hard. I did not have time to work on it and briefly finished 2 of 3 problems.
