That is interesting. I thought Shari was simply HR. During my interview she did not ask any technical questions only the typical HR questions. Also I did not get any questions on Statistics.

Shari ask me tech questions too
I guess she might write down what I said and deliver it to the pros, or hold the write answers
in hand to judge if I can answer it or not

math and stat？

Good luck!

What were you asked?

Just finished my interview wish shari. Good luck to ppl who are still waiting.

hi Kevin are you international student too or are you canadian?

 

[Yang_Pop]

What were you asked?

basic concepts in Stochastic Process, such as Brownian Motion, Markov Chain.
I think they ask most students with math or stat background the similar questions

Cool.

I was also asked brain teasers like if it takes 10 minutes to cut a piece of plank into 2 pieces how long does it take to cut it into 3 seperate pieces ? I said as close to 10mins as you want.

saw a rejection in tracker. mmf has started to send rejections?

 

[Jesus_Lander]

Maybe some people think that if by now they have not received an offer, means a rejection.
