30 min initial Interview was easy. Just a screening call with the professor. Did not get much time to talk about a lot of things, may be I will get an opportunity to talk much in the further rounds. Professor was very friendly and had a good conversation.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stanford University (San Jose, CA) in June 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached me out via linkedin. There was initial screening round with recruiter, which was followed by HR follow up matrix based questions. Questions need to be answered in proper way to move next round. Next was followed by 1 hour tech round. they follow old tech stack and waterfall methodology so they focus more on theory and practical knowledge other than DS. People were nice and overall experience was good
