Hi,
Congrats on the interview. First interview is a mix of technical and resume based. The technical part is kind of customized to your background, so basically be prepared to talk about whats on your resume and important subjects you studied through your major and etc. For example, I majored in statistics and finance, I got asked quite a bit of Stats/R and finance questions.

That is a guess, but that is what I found from others prior to interviewing. Good luck!

Hey congrats! I think the technical questions were generally based on your resume. They are mostly interested in data and programming skills. I wrote Java and C++ in resume, so the interviewer asked about my proficiency and then proceeded with questions about inheritance in Java and components of hash tables in C++. I would say it really depends on your background. You should make sure you know the things that are listed on your resume and you will be fine! I actually missed one question because I didn't expect these many data questions but I still passed.

Good luck!!

At the end of the interview, the interviewer said he will recommend me to the mfe office. I don't know if all interviewers do that though. I waited for three weeks until Linda directly called me without any prior notice.

Are the admits for Round-2 out? I saw two people who got the admit on the tracker. Could you tell us what would second interview be like ?
