Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how to sample 100 values between 2 and 3 from standard normal distribution. how would you optimise it to have exactly 100 steps instead of a long accept/reject loop.
Lengthy. Recruiter screen followed by 4 online interviews and an invitation to on-site. They asked a bunch of questions specific to the role and expected an analysis that required industry knowledge. I wasn't told that by the recruiter and bombed.
Great people and a challenging interview process designed to select strong candidates. The hiring managers were kind, professional, and helpful throughout. I only wish I had more time to prepare beforehand. Overall, it was a positive experience.

They asked me some questions, then I answered them. This continued for approximately 30 minutes, at which point I departed. I have not heard from them since. It was an enjoyable experience.
