I posted my resume online and the recruiter contacted me. After the conversation, it took about 2 weeks to arrange the phone technical interview. After passing the phone interview, I was asked to completed an online test, including 45 min for coding and 30 min for 17 multiple choice problem set. Coding part includes two easy small projects and the 17 problem quiz will test the probability, statistics and logic. I got 100% on coding part and 70% on the 17 multiple choice quiz. One day after I was told that I was rejected because my answer is not strong enough. It is funny that they use the 17 question quiz to judge if the candidate is strong enough.

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.
