United StatesPosted Mar 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied through a referral, and my first round interview was about my research first, then it shifted to a few basic probability questions.

The whole thing ran for about an hour, so it moved at a good pace.

The interview had a fairly clean structure—resume and research discussion up front, followed by probability checks. The experience felt fairly contained, with limited scope for surprises. I didn’t receive an offer, but it was the kind of screen where the expectations are clear and the math portion is straightforward in theme, if not in execution.
