Interview
Two rounds of interviews total. First round contains two interviews with both behavioral questions and case study. Second round is the same plus a data insight interview (you are given a pack of info and 30 minutes to prepare a presentation). You end up interviewing with at least five different people, so you end up with a good “feeling” for the culture (including a nice casual coffee chat at the end). Most of the interviewers were absolutely lovely and engaged, others less so (felt a bit rushed). They were quick to call back and provide detailed feedback which is highly appreciated. Overall a positive experience but a bit too much effort (time wise): both rounds in their London office which is much better than zoom but you might need to take a lot of time off from work and other responsibilities.
