We start with ~3000 applications and only accept a small number. It may seem like the odds are low, however:
Lots of people apply via the initial form, but after that the odds become more reasonable and you would find yourself up against numbers closer to 300. The stats for EAs are also pretty high (about 5x more likely to be successful relative to non-EA applications).
If you get to interview one, you may be among 50-100 other people
At test task two, among 20-50.
We’ve tried to make the first two rounds valuable and worth the effort even if you don’t progress. Round one will give you feedback on your fit and strengths. Round two will enable you to compare and contrast your career options.
The upside of applying (we believe) is high, and combined with the feedback you’ll get, there is good reason to put yourself forward. We try to be very careful not to waste anyone’s time.
Are there any statistics you can share about likelihoods of a successful application?
