Interview
I had to go through 5 stages in the interview process.
1. Applied online through company website
2. Phone interview with HR (30min)
3. Take home test (skills based -- basic math calculations, R, SQL, Python, Reasoning, Logic)
4. Two 2:1 case interviews and general background check, CV talk (2 hours)
5. Presentation (Deliveroo provides questions and data for the analysis)

Question 1
Why Deliveroo? and minimal unit of randomisation in A/B testing.
Straight forward process but very long and arduous with plenty of stages. I'd say it needs to be refined. Interviewers were very professional and rapport building was easy. I would suggest cutting down on the numerous steps in the interview
Very long process, 6 interviews and a take home task before being rejected. Brief of the task said don't overcomplicate it but the feedback I received was that I still didn't go into enough detail. So be prepared to spend a lot of time for the interviews. Generally friendly interviewers and easy interview questions, very straight forward standard a/b testing and causal inference questions. Despite this was rejected, would have brushed up on my domain knowledge in retrospect as I probably wasn't very clear answering causal inference questions to a product very different to my experience. The sql test was very easy and I completed all questions correctly, but got some negative feedback on this as I wasn't familiar with postgresql quirks around dates which they marked me down on.
