Interview
Only made it to phone interview, interviewer is nice and professional. Should have been more prepared to not waste the opportunity. Got interview through campus recruitment. Never knew this firm existed until I applied.
30 min - 1 hour phone interview. The interviewer asked 2 brainteaser/ probability questions that were reasonable in difficulty (not crazy). Interviewer was kind and helps if you make a silly mistake.
