First interview was the technical phone interview which lasted in 30 mins. The approach was nice but I could not get questions easily. I could not pass that stage. Overall it was a nice experience for me.

Two or three probability/statistics brain teasers/problems that you have to solve. Topics include Markov Chains, EV, decision/game theory, branching processes, gambler's ruin, best decisions, optimisation. Interview with an actual quant.
CV submission, followed by online assessment (fairly easy 10 questions), then first round zoom interview. One interviewer, one hour interview. 2 problem solving questions asked with multiple follow ups for each one.

Question 1
Design an algorithm for when to replace a car at a car rental company
Was asked a general mathematical problem solving question - no personal details or anything else was discussed, was overall relatively easy and I imagine a fair amount of support would be offered if struggling.
