I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mathematica (Washington, DC) in Mar 2023
Interview
I applied online with a CV and cover letter and then was contacted by a recruiter with whom I had a 30min interview where the recruiter asked general interview and background questions (coding experience, experience working on teams and presenting results, etc.) I then completed a coding assessment and a few weeks later had a 2 hour interview with two different pairs of individuals from the company. The first pair asked me about my coding assessment and the second asked more general questions. I then heard back a week after with the offer. The process was smooth and relatively quick.
