Hello, has anyone received interview invitation?

1 month has passed since the deadline, so I am wondering if it is okay that I haven't heard anything from them...

Would highly appreciate if there are any advices on how to prepare for possible interview.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Are there any updates? Has anyone received an interview invitation?

 

[Zeroxieeee]

hey, I am wondering too
It seems no one receives any update, isn't it?

 

[akshayjoshi]

This is very weird. Last year a lot of people had interviews. Not sure what’s happening.

I assume they’ll start sending them out in the next couple of weeks

Hey,
I am hoping to complete my application by Round 2 deadline (13th March). Can somebody please help with the video essay question? What can I expect? Will the question change if I discard the first attempt?

According to their website, decision date for round 1 is March 8, which is 11 days from now. I think they only have the next one week left for interview.

Interesting... correct me if I'm wrong, but they also tend to have two rounds of interviews as well, right? I suppose they did have the video recording as part of the application this year, though.

According to the tracker, there was only one round of interview last year. But it is still weird.

Was that round technical or just fit?

I received the interview invite today, which will take place on this Friday (March 1) lol

 

[akshayjoshi]

How many slots or days of interview left, do you see there?

They set a time for me, so I could not be able to see how many slots are left.

I also got the interview request for Friday 3/1. They chose the interview time and they told me that they hope to complete all interviews by tomorrow to post decisions by next week.

 

[quantdude]

How was your interview? I just got an invite for tomorrow.

How was your interview? I just got an invite for tomorrow.

I thought it went well, questions were very straightforward with probability (combinatorics mostly) some programming and some calculus. No need to really review extensively although you may want to brush up if you've haven't used these concepts recently. Good luck to everyone!

 

[Chenchenman]

Hey I just got an interview this morning and the interviewer is Mr. Becker. I am wondering if anyone share the same interviewer with me.

 

[akshayjoshi]

I have an interview tomorrow. Does anyone know what are the intentions of these selective interviews?
