BlocPower Interview Questions
& Process

It was one round, a technical interview. They asked some basic ML concept questions, had a live coding challenge on Hackerrank, and one SQL question. The live coding was a bit tough, but they didn't expect a perfect solution.

It was a three part interview process and pretty simple. First, I had a phone call with my future manager to talk about my background and the application. Then, I was given a take home financial modeling exercise using Excel. After that, there was another interview about the model, and finally, a behavioral interview.

I was initially contacted for a screening call with the department director. Following that, I had a first round virtual interview with two operations team members. This initial conversation was quite relaxed and focused on getting to know each other. The subsequent interview was also fairly informal, though it did include some challenging questions that made me think. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in my background and responses. After my interview, I followed up weekly for two weeks and was eventually informed that they decided to move forward with candidates who had a more specific skillset, which I understood. They did ask to connect on LinkedIn for potential future roles.

I was contacted by a hiring manager for a role, and they also connected me with a hiring manager for a different role that was a better fit for my background. I interviewed with both hiring managers. I advanced to the next stage, which was an interview with a VP. However, I had a family emergency and had to reschedule. Since I didn't hear back from the interviewers, I decided to withdraw my application. This lack of communication during the interview process made me concerned about how it would be to work there.
