- Stage 1: Initial phone screen by HR.

- Stage 3: An onsite interview composed of two parts: the first is with 4 data scientists/engineers and the second is with 3 higher level execs. The questions are a mix of product, business, analytical and stats questions. Stats questions mostly revolve around A/B testing: hypothesis testing, etc. There can be some easy-medium SQL questions. Analytical questions include a hypothetical problem to analyze, metrics to evaluate product performance, etc. Higher level executives mostly focus mostly on background and past experience.
