The online assessment (OA) consisted of two questions I'd seen before: linear interpolation and NYC weather data. Virtual
onsite Each round lasted about 1 hour. @Round 1 1. Regression of y~x and x~y, coefficient relationship, how to make the two coefficients equal. 2. NYC Citibike demand prediction at a specific location. @Round 2 1. Warm-up: Palindromes. 2. Write down the smallest palindrome larger than a given number K. 3. Algorithm question, no coding required. 2n workers, two tasks, how to schedule time to minimize total time. There was a 30-minute break in the middle where HR needed to collect feedback to determine if there would be a third round. About 20 minutes later, I received an email confirming my entry into the third round. See the next post for details on the third round.
