Process
3-round interview plus recruiter screen:
- Round 1: Hiring Manager
- Round 2: Technical Interview
- Final Round: Case Study & Presentation
The case study was take-home, but not "free work" as others have mentioned. It's a chance to demonstrate the skills you can bring to Cerebral. It was advised to tailor it to Cerebral's problems, but that's just smart for any interview.
