TaipeiPosted Apr 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed through a small set of sessions dominated by resume discussion and brainteasers, and overall it felt moderate.

Induction + resume questions — I started by introducing myself and answering questions about my resume.
Brain teasers + math/probability — many questions were brain teasers and math topics including statistics and probability.
Finance open questions — I also handled some open-ended questions related to finance.
Second journey format — in another similar path, I had two rounds each with two researchers/VPs, with live coding that could be handled in pseudo code. Outcome: No offer; the takeaway was that resume plus clear reasoning on teasers/probability were central.
