I remember the process feeling intense from the start. It began with a timed math test containing seven questions. The limit was about 45 minutes, and the topics included linear algebra, probability, optimization, and brain-teaser-style problems. The questions were difficult and required quick work, so I felt that small mistakes could compound fast.
After the initial stage, I had a Zoom technical and behavioral interview. The overall impression was that speed and clarity mattered as much as accuracy. In a separate attempt that followed a similar path, the assessment covered topics such as Markov chains and matrix manipulations, and I was rejected after the technical round.
Across these experiences, the difficulty didn't come with the friendly coaching tone I had hoped for. One interview felt slightly condescending while I was trying to solve problems. I understood that they wanted rigor, but the delivery made the pressure worse. When I reached later stages, they were still demanding, with more rounds that looked like data or coding challenges alongside multiple interviews.
I didn't receive an offer, and the emotional takeaway was clear: the bar was high enough that I couldn't rely on being "close." Even when I felt I was thinking well, I couldn't consistently match their pace and style well enough to move forward.
Location: Singapore. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
