I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Point72 (London, England)
Interview
Extremely long interview process (over 2 months) - hackerank followed by project which took over 10 hours to complete followed by first interview with a data scientist who asked vague technical questions.
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
