Process
The interview process was long, with a wait time of two weeks between each round. It started with two initial screening rounds, followed by six 45-minute on-site interviews. Four of the six interviews were highly technical (SQL, R, and Python).
I didn't receive an offer, but overall, it was a fair process, and I had the opportunity to share knowledge with some very smart people.
