I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Point72 (New York, NY)
Interview
They don’t actually hire ds now, the jd posted on the website is just a way to attract people and they will lead you to other positions that are not interesting at all for one’s who is seeking data scientist position.

Question 1
Do you want to apply for another position though we don’t have jd for it?
Hackerrank consisting of easy-medium SQL and coding leet code type questions followed by "behavioral interview" that is technical, followed by technical statistics round. Interviewer dove deep into my projects. Statistics round was straightforward (bayes rule etc.)
One of those pymetrics tests + wunderlic. Online Assesment, 1 SQL (easy), 2 leetcode mediums. Then virtual onsite with 3 interviewers. 1 Behavioral, 1 data case, 1 machine learning high level concepts.

Question 1
What happens to F-Statistic/T-statistic if you replicate the data?
1) 30 min call with recruiter 2) 90 min OA 3) 2 interviews with Data Scientists (1 behavioral + 1 technical) 4) week long case study + create a presentation 5) (onsite round) I was ghosted after my case study submission
The process is long. If you’re not 100% committed to the org + team, I wouldn't invest the time in the case study + presentation round. That said, the interviews themself were fair if you have a solid background in DS

Question 1
