I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Point72 in Jun 2023

Was asked about my background and some technical questions about random trees. They went pretty in depth into projects I had worked on. They also asked a big picture question about design.

Question 1
What happens to F-Statistic/T-statistic if you replicate the data?
1) 30 min call with recruiter 2) 90 min OA 3) 2 interviews with Data Scientists (1 behavioral + 1 technical) 4) week long case study + create a presentation 5) (onsite round) I was ghosted after my case study submission
The process is long. If you’re not 100% committed to the org + team, I wouldn't invest the time in the case study + presentation round. That said, the interviews themself were fair if you have a solid background in DS
