Submitted an online application then a week someone reached out for a round 1 interview. Questions were pretty straightforward and person interviewing me was super nice but make sure to know about the industry
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Voleon (Berkeley, CA) in Dec 2023
Interview
It was long and tedious with 6 rounds. Made it to Round 5 and got cut off when they asked about GPA. They really care about that. Overall I'd say you're interviewing with a white people company, it was okay.
Several rounds of interviews with people of increasing seniority. One of the rounds involved a take home portion that you then discuss with a current employee. Final round is five back to back interviews with people from various teams.
