Interview

Phone interview, which comprised of resume, career and quantitative questions. Followed by super day at their office: 1 hour of exams and then day long of one-on-one interviews along with lunch with members from the team. Overall, a good and educational experience. There was somewhat of a long wait between the phone interview and the super day.
