Chicago, ILPosted Nov 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I got into the later stages only after doing well in an invitation-only options course, and by the time I reached the final round the interview felt genuinely tough.

The bulk of it was probability questions with unusual twists, under pressure.

Even though it wasn’t only technical, there were lifestyle or situational questions mixed in while I was still under a tight clock. The final round overall felt demanding because the probability part wasn’t straightforward and required careful reasoning on the fly.

I didn’t get the offer, and what stuck with me was that the process tested both my technical thinking and my ability to stay composed while the questions kept coming fast.
