My interview took place around 2024 and felt somewhat unstructured. The interviewer did not appear fully prepared, and there were no technical questions.
Surprisingly, the data analysis task requested before the interview was not discussed at all. Overall, it was an unusual interview experience compared to typical industry standards.
