MilanPosted Jun 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

For a stage position, my process was pretty classic: I had an initial HR conversation, then a second round that mixed a more general discussion with a technical part with the relevant manager.

The technical interview pulled directly from my thesis, so the conversation stayed anchored in my academic work.

After that, there was a simple case study. It wasn’t trying to test learned technical skills so much as how I reasoned through a question—how I thought, not just what I knew.

It was a moderately difficult journey and ended without an offer. Still, I appreciated that the case component was tied to my background, because it made the technical part feel more coherent than purely abstract questions.
