I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Octant (CA) (Emeryville, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
After being reached out to via direct email, had an initial video call with the head of engineering at the time followed by a 2nd round take-home bioinformatics challenge. The take-home challenge was to create an end-to-end pipeline to analyze some example experiment data and then plot the results. The challenge was fairly difficult and time consuming, although I did finish it in time within the 1-week deadline. They notified me that I would not be moving forward in the process after a couple of days.
