Applying for Research Scientist that requires PhD in Computer Science or related fields.
First there are two phone screenings that ask Machine Learning fundamentals, statistics, your research work, and how to solve research problems. If you did well, you are invited to an on-site interview which includes an hour-talk (your thesis topic or any research you have done) and 6 one-to-one interviews. In an one-to-one interview, you are asked to explain your approaches for given research problems, your intuition for modeling, how to implement your idea, and some technical coding questions.

One day long:
Mixture of probability questions and coding. Coding was simpler that some other places. just linked list, arrays, and trees. No DP. Probability questions were mostly easy. Some tricky though. The last interview was more into technical details of a subject that was specialty of interviewer. It was fast and a bit aggressive.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
- Write order traversal using stacks (not machine's and recursively).
- Three sum with dulicates.
- Finding array's max range in O(N).

I got a phone interview with a hiring manager. There were no technical questions asked, just some general questions about my past research, what methods were used, etc., followed by very general Q&A about what their team is doing. I realized quickly that it was not a good match. Turned down after a week after the interview.
