I applied online. I interviewed at Descartes Underwriting (Paris) in Oct 2024
Interview
4 interviews, 1 behavioural + 2 techincal + 1 with manager (mainly behavioural)
The technical interviews went well (one interview was about interpolation, the other one basic probs).
The rejection was due to "lack of motivation" at the final stage
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question regarding discrete probability distributions and another question about interpolation, given certain constraints on continuity and domain.
