Candidate-reported interview process
We started with a chat with HR where they were very clear about the salary cap, bonus, and benefits, which were pretty much fixed. Then there was a case study involving a dataset that we had a week to complete, followed by a behavioral interview.
I went through 2 interviews. First was with HR for a screening call to go over my motivation and talk about pay. Second was with the Hiring Manager, and it was to check out my technical skills. Both were really nice and clear about the company and what's next.
The interview process was pretty simple and easy. Everyone I met was really nice and the chats were fun. It included an HR screen, a team interview, an assignment, and a final interview.
