I applied through university. I interviewed at Sberbank
Interview
There were two calls:
1. One with the head of the department
2. The other one with the heads of this head
At the first call, we talked mainly about my experience and my motivation, so it looked more like an HR call. At the second call, two guys interviewed me about SQL and my personal experience and my scientific research, and then we talked about different math problems and statistics.
