Interview process

The process went well, and the interviews did not seem to be very difficult. The process began with a tech screen on MS Teams (video call with the recruiter). Tech Screen was a 45 minute interview that included SQL and Python questions. AB Testing and Stats interview involved requiring knowledge about 2-sided marketplaces. For Stats, basics were also questions - what is alpha? what are type 1 and type 2 errors? Last round was conducted by the HM, mostly related to behavioral questions.
