The first round was ~30 minutes of phone interview. The interviewer asked 2~3 questions, mainly about probability, combinatorics and math. I didn't manage to pass the first round so these are all I know.

After the initial recruiter call, I moved on to a 45-minute virtual interview. The session was a mix of LeetCode-style algorithmic problems, along with some probability and statistics questions. The coding portion wasn't too difficult—I'd say it was around the Medium level.

Two phone screens, one was a Leetcode Easy coding problem along with general ML questions. Second asked some probability statistics questions. Last one was about my research and a general feeler about my knowledge of economics and current events.
