Interview
I applied through campus career website and then got the phone interview. The questions are very technical and most of them are statistical questions with real industry application. Since the interview sounds like a Chinese and has a poor oral English, I cannot catch some questions. Most of my classmates got this interview but they declined us all. It seems that this position just recruits PhD students.
