Initial screen was a 30 min phone interview, Then there was technical screen which was focused on experimental design, statistics and probabilistic coding questions followed by an onsite interview that included 5 one-on-one rounds with data scientist.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the assumption of error in linear regression?
Lengthy. Recruiter screen followed by 4 online interviews and an invitation to on-site. They asked a bunch of questions specific to the role and expected an analysis that required industry knowledge. I wasn't told that by the recruiter and bombed.
Great people and a challenging interview process designed to select strong candidates. The hiring managers were kind, professional, and helpful throughout. I only wish I had more time to prepare beforehand. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Question 1
Tell me about a project where you used machine learning to solve a real problem.
They asked me some questions, then I answered them. This continued for approximately 30 minutes, at which point I departed. I have not heard from them since. It was an enjoyable experience.
