      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Ascend Analytics (Berkeley, CA) in Nov 2011

      Interview

      First interview was with the vice president and with HR at the same time on campus. Fairly straightforward interview. They talked about the company, what the role is about, what I want, what I am interested in. Then the VP asked about a couple of projects I worked on to know my technical side, problem solving skills, what I used to solve the problem. For one of the projects I told him that I used something called the Cholesky decomposition fully expecting him to not really know about it, but he did. He asked what I used it for, I gave him a general answer and the VP actually corrected some parts that I said and even added how it is often used. That really got me excited more about the company as I was finishing up my Statistics degree. Second interview was over the phone with the president/CEO of the company. He asked REALLY basic math questions like sqrt of 9, to the point where I almost thought it was a trick question. But think maybe it was more of a formality and his interest was more on how I communicate as he commented how he liked how clear I was in how I speak. After that interview, I was extended an offer.
