Colloquio
For PhD candidates, the first 30ish minutes are basically a deep dive into your research. After that, they gave me a coding task where I had to work with dataframes. The coding environment was terrible, definitely nowhere near a proper Jupyter/VSCode setup. It felt clunky, I couldn't see the whole dataframe because there was not enough space. I really didn't like it.

Colloquio
the discussed topics themselves are very broad and include anything from your past research to open-ended questions on stats/dl/games; I had 6 rounds but usually folks have 5 to 7 of them, depends on the number of teams that are interested in u; all interviews were recommended to be finished in 40 minutes, but we managed to chat with interviewers for 10-20 minutes after the technicals; the staff was kind and the process itself more resembled some type of informal and pretty chill chat

Colloquio
Two interviews, one technical questions kind of tailored to your field but are very specific. Another one is deep-dive on one of your own works. This one basically needs you to explain your works in detail.
