I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

• Online Assessments: 3 rounds, roughly 6 hours total. They featured a mix of maths and statistics problems, and some pseudocode questions, including bitwise operations. No DSA or algorithm prep was required. It was fair but time-consuming.
• Application Materials: I was required to submit written application questions, a cover letter, and a 3-minute presentation recording. It felt a bit over the top for an early-stage process. After completing this stage, they give you $30 to donate to a charity of your choice as a thank-you.
• First Interview: HR-focused, 1 hour. It mostly featured behavioural and motivational questions, such as why Bending Spoons, why impact matters to you, long-term goals, \u201cat 80, what would make your career successful?\u201d, and weaknesses. It ended with a short 5-minute maths/stats brainteaser.
• Final Interview: HR plus problem solving. It was half behavioural, half analytical, and included one more maths brainteaser and one basic data-science-style A/B testing case.

I didn't progress past the final interview, mainly because other candidates performed better on the problem-solving tasks. The process was competitive and well structured, with a strong emphasis on clarity of reasoning rather than coding. They do give you a product voucher for Remini to thank you for your time at the end.

At 80, what would make your career successful?
