I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ICON
Interview
They conducted a background check before an interview. It felt odd and uncomfortable. Based on all their reviews, they do not always do this, which makes me highly skeptical, given my cultural background. That being said, the employees conducting the interview seemed calm and personable. The interview itself is different than most I experienced.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Fun thought experiments that reveal problem-solving skills.
Simple and easy. 3 rounds. HR, Team Interview, Final Interview with Director. Interviewed by people on the team, not a hiring manager. Mix of behavioral and some technical. Very low stakes vibe and technical problems were easy, no prep required.

Question 1
Explain the pros and cons of using the mean as a performance metric.
The process was unprofessional because I had to constantly contact my interviewer to remind them of our interview. I understand that things happen but not all the time in a whole process.
Be considerate of people's time!
