Initial hacker rank test. One hour, 10 to 15 questions. 4 basic SQL questions. 1 more intermediate, but ran out of time. The other remaining questions were multiple choice about statistics and hypothesis testing, and also some with basic math.
If you pass hacker rank, it led to a case study interview, but not really about statistics. It aligns with a McKinsey case study type interview, about profit, metrics, is this good or bad, etc...
Positive experience
