I had the assessment and it was pretty basic. As was told in the email there were just basic calculus and probability/ statistics problems. You don't have to worry about that. The same is true about programming question.
Thanks for sharing and best of luck for your interview! Just to confirm: there is no linear algebra, right? Is the programming language specified or it's up to us? A huge thank you

Thank you! There wasn't linear algebra in my assessment and yes you may choose the programming Language.
Good luck!)
In terms of choosing programming language, I've noticed that websites like leetcode don't have support for R (which I was hoping to use for the assessment). Can we literally select any language for the assessment, or is it like a dropdown menu with a pre-selected set of options? Thanks for your help!

Edit: More precisely, can we use R?

It's not like preselected menu. You just write as a comment what language you are using, then just write the code to solve the problem.

Thanks for sharing. Was it simpler than the problem set given on the website?

So there's no flash compiler, its like programming on word :)

There is someone saying that this year's number of ppl who received invitation of interview is smaller compared to past. Dont know if the statement is true.
When I registered for the interview, there were about 200-300 slots left. How do you think of the importance of the interview?

I think that depends on what percentage of applicants got invited to the interview. If it's a lower percentage than the interview is less important, but if it's a higher percentage than the interview is more important.

Can you please provide inputs on the coding question?

Lower percentage than the interview? What?
