I was referred by a recruiter and was given an online interview with the team lead 2 weeks later. The interview took around 1 hour; firstly I had to prepare slides about myself and past projects and then I had two rounds of coding questions in SQL and Python. Neither were overly difficult

The interview format was: - Introduction and resume walkthrough (20 minutes) - Technical questions (30 minutes) - Candidate’s questions (10 minutes) First they asked me to talk about myself. I presented what I am studying/studied, my personal/academic project and my main skills. Then, they asked very open-ended questions about the theoretical argument touched position. At the very end they asked if I had any questions. I asked what was the day-to-day like for this position. They told me that the main work loop would be: - Literature review - Build upon literature to design new approaches - Discuss with group - Implement - Benchmark
