Candidate-reported interview process
I was contacted by an HR person from social career net. After that, I received a take-home challenge. The plan was for interviews to follow, but I didn't get past the initial stage. The HR was really nice and helpful with scheduling and getting materials ready.
First, HR will screen you to see if you're interested and a good fit. If that goes well, you'll get a take-home data challenge. After that, you'll interview with the person who would be your intern manager. Lastly, you'll talk to a current employee to see how you'd fit in with the company culture and team.
I applied online through their website. Unfortunately, I didn't get any further in the interview process. It was a bummer because I met all the qualifications they listed online. Bummer, it seems like a cool place to work :(
