1. Can you talk at all about the interview process for USDS? My big reluctance to apply for positions right now is that so many companies require extensive knowledge of algorithms, which can be daunting for someone who's self-taught, like myself. I imagine USDS is more focused on large-scale systems, but I'm unsure what that looks like in an interview setting, other than discussing a candidate's experiences with system design or improvements.
2. Can you comment on how a transition from one president to another affects USDS? I imagine there's a change in priorities and possibly some leadership, but what do those changes look like, and how drastically do they affect the organization?
