I had mailed my resume to careers@msd and received a reply about 2 weeks later scheduling the first interview. It was around 15 mins long and on phone, regarding skill set, projects and prior experience. 3 days later, I received an assignment which was to be completed within 5 days. Finally, a second interview was scheduled after submission of the task. This one was around 45 mins long, in-depth questions regarding the task and many other technical problems and riddles were asked.

The interview was intense and highly technical, covering statistics, machine learning, SQL, and case studies, with deep follow-ups that tested reasoning, communication, and real problem-solving under pressure throughout overall experience.
