Interview
Online Assessment. (1) About 20 numeric sequences, integers and fractions. (2) 8 weird games testing things like reaction time and risk management. (3) About 20 standard probability questions, touching topics like conditional probability, dice/card games, etc...
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
You throw 2 dice. What is the probability that they add up to exactly 7?
Started with call with the recruiter, then an online test, then a zoom interview focussing on brain teasers. Finally the assessment day which was a mix of personality interviews, cv interviews, brain teasers and role playing interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The role playing interview sound fun on paper but it would help to practice. And know how to make a market over the phone.
