It was a very laid back interview where we mostly discussed my experience on projects that I had previously worked on. The questions about my projects gave me the opportunity to indicate my knowledge level about certain topics
Very smooth, hour long interview process. Asked me questions mostly about my resume. 3 people from different teams conducted the interview. Very friendly and comfortable environment. Received an offer 2 days after interviewing.

They first gave me an easy Python coding leetcode question about reversing strings. Then they asked about my relevant experience and had me walk through a data science modeling problem from end-to-end. It felt like a laid back and stress free interview.
