Colloquio
Just a technical phone screen with a recruiter. INSANE technical questions that make me wonder who on earth knows the answers to those questions! Random and so incredibly specific and mathematical!

Domanda 1
Something about maximum likelihood, but quite specific.

Colloquio
The process is fast. 1st round was the HR screening, when the HR asked you some basic statistic questions (answer yes or no). 2nd round was to talk with a data scientist, who would ask you questions related to basic data science (t-test, the definition of SD....), 3rd round was to talk with another data scientist, who would ask you probability questions (dice, coin.....) and data science-related coding. The whole interview process is actually to try to recruit a data scientist instead of a biostatistician. All questions are similar to interview questions in hiring a data scientist in the tech company. None of these questions were related to biostatistics as well as biostatistician experience. Based on the interview, I THINK they are actually trying to hire a data scientist (but will pay much less than a tech data scientist based on the pay range from the HR). So if you are interested in Natera, I would suggest just preparing tech data scientist interview questions and leetcode coding. Do not worry if you do not have any biostatistics background!
