Five Rings’ Online Assessment 19 questions, 2 or 3 minutes. Tests mental math, estimation, combinatorics, quick logic, and probability intuition—very speed-intensive. After finishing OA, I received rejection within just 10 minutes.
Online assessment on probability questions. Each question has either 2 or 3 minutes limit. After that I had a short HR call. Did one technical round with a researcher who asked me about algorithm.

Question 1
HR said the tech interview will be on probability but being asked algorithm.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Five Rings in Oct 2023
Interview
First round: Self introduction + quick ask quick answer. Only 30~45 sec for each problem. There were 15 problems in total. Totally disaster but still move forward.
Second round: kinda bad experience. The interviewer was late for about 10 mins. And he switched among laptop, conference room camera and phone. The question was about poisson process.
