Interview
online assessment was a bunch of technical questions about probability, game theory, brainteasers
the phone interview was behavioural, asked about resume, why I chose certain stuff, etc. no tehcnical questions
Initially good, but never heard back after round 2 - didn't get officially told I hadn't made it through to round 3, but sort of relied on me to get the message
