      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Descartes Underwriting (Paris) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      Interview process was very quick and all interviewers were super responsive during the whole process. The process is divided into 5 steps : - Interview with HR - Technical test on GitHub - Technical interview - Manager interview - Team interview Overall coverage of the interviews is really exhaustive, requiring both technical skills and soft skills during the whole process. Technical test/interview test your statistics/CS knowledge on real case studies along with some brain teasers. The team was helpful during these tests are there are not meant to trick you but rather see if the job is a good fit for you or not. Team and manager interviews are also about fit with the people in the company, and you're able to see the people you'll join. The company attract top talents from French elite engineering school as well as well known international universities. Statistics and CS question are of a good level, and reflect the level of the company and its people.
