I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Point72 (New York, NY) in June 2019
Interview
The first step was an informal HR interview. The next step is then a one hour hackerrank test consisting of four problems. From there, two phone calls with data scientist. After that, there is a data analysis challenge to be presented onsite.

Question 1
Hackerrank challenge consisted of four relatively easy questions, but with a very small amount of time allotted (one hour total). Hope you're fast with corner cases and off by one errors without access to a proper debugger.
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

Question 1
