Candidate-reported interview process

The interview was insightful, and I gained valuable knowledge. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it easy to connect and share ideas. Overall, it was a truly enriching experience.

The whole process is perfectly explained via info shared by recruiters. It is a succession of technical interviews (SQL). The last test consists of a day at Alan's premises, and an analysis in the chosen language (R, Python, SQL). The interviews are conducted by different members of the team.

Started with a few email questions to check motivation and writing skills. Then had a virtual onsite that was 6 hours long (could be split into two days). This onsite consisted of three interviews: one for SQL, one for analytics and modeling, and a case study. Finished with a final interview with leadership.
