Interview
Preliminary screening consisted of two Zoom interviews: 1) a 45-minute HR interview + "table test" (looking at a pdf table and circling mistakes) and, after a break, 2) a 45-minute "data assessment" (finding mistakes or "odd" things about a few summary statistics). I never heard back. This was around June 2023.
