Quick response, got the challenge within a day. Did not specify when they want me to submit the challenge. I got the email contains a data file with information of loans and a pdf description file that tells you what to do.

We would like you to estimate what fraction of these loans will have charged
off by the time all of their 3-year terms are finished. Please include a rigor-
ous explanation of how you arrived at your answer, and include any code you
used. You may make simplifying assumptions, but please state such assump-
tions explicitly. Feel free to present your answer in whatever format you prefer;
in particular, PDF and Jupyter Notebook are both fine.

3 rounds, first is lead, then some peers, then hr. Totally very difficulty, since they hope candicator can work for them, no need to train. So if you are a graduate, that's not good place for you, and also very hard to get offer or their company.

HR phone interview, where the HR rep was super nice and dug relatively deep into my experience and previous work.
1st round interview with Sr. Research Scientist was just alright. Interviewer showed up 5 mins late (sure if happens, no biggie) and gave a very speedy intro of the company. I gave an intro of my experience. Just 1 question on my experience and moved into coding. While coding it was a bit odd the interviewer kept wanting me to change x or y about the code or how I was solving it before I could finish completely. This threw me off a bit, as every other place I've interviewed they let you finish and then follow up if you could do x or y to improve performance, etc. Fairly straight forward stats and A/B to finish.
