I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Enthought in May 2019
Interview
I applied online through LinkedIn. First, they will ask you to provide some code samples. If they like it, they are going to set up a phone interview, it will be technical but not coding. You will need to know some algorithms basic and more importantly, learn about python as much as possible. If they like you, they'll give you a coding interview with two of their developers. My coding interview went great, i solved 2 questions, optimized, had a great chat. Two days later, I was told I wasn't a good fit. I have no idea what I should improve before applying again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
CS basics and Python basics. Watch some Python interview questions on YouTube.
For coding, it's going to be general questions related to Arrays and Strings. Watch general things like string to numeric conversions. Know some shortcut methods in Python related to lists and dictionaries. Make sure you know everything about Lists and Dict
The first part is a scientific computing knowledge check. They ask questions that probe the breadth and depth of your computer science knowledge.
Live coding exercises in python. Something simple and then a leetcode question.
Peer and leadership interviews with some problem solving at a whiteboard.

Interview
Multiple stages: preliminary screen / quiz, live coding interview, multi-hour on-site interview. The screen covers basic mathematics, engineering, and computer science questions. The code interview is live, and covers one or more problems that can be answered within an hour. The on-site interview has some on-the-board work and face-to-face conversations with leaders.

Question 1
Describe various sorting algorithms, their strengths and weaknesses, including computational complexity.
It was a phone call screening interview with two members from the team. One thing they asked about was eligibility to work in the USA without needing visa sponsorship. It was a relaxed discussion.
