Interview
Straightforward, fair, and quick. Phone screen, then panel interview, then power day all within a period of two weeks. The recruiter outlined the process since the beginning and it was really easy to understand. All the material you need to prepare is provided to you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you model credit card default rates? Why?
one way interview, with case study questions where you have to respond in text then explain in video form your thinking, very maths heavy, would practice your speaking before and be concise with your answers because of the time limit
Submitted application and immediately received a VJT assessment. Once passed, I had a recruiter screening, then had a mini case interview with the hiring manager. After the mini case is power day with 4 back to back 1 hour interviews.
