Selection Process

Interview Process & How to Prepare

  1. Screening Interview (with Hiring Manager) Focus: culture fit, background, and your motivation. Be ready to walk through your CV and ask questions about the company.
  2. Panel Interview (mixed US/RO panel, evening slot 17:00-18:00 start, ~2 hours)
  • Hour 1: Behavioral round covering conflict resolution and ownership of responsibilities. Prepare concrete examples from your own experience (STAR format works well).
  • Hour 2: Technical round. You'll receive a dataset 2 days before the interview and be asked to build a forecast from it. In the interview, you'll walk the panel through your approach and justify your modelling choices.

Good to Know

Come with real examples, not hypotheticals. For the technical round, be ready to explain your reasoning, not just your results: why you chose that model, how you handled missing data or outliers, and what trade-offs you made.
