Technical Coding

The hiring process was pretty smooth. First, I had to complete a take-home test covering data science concepts and some programming tasks within a few days. After that, I had an interview with HR and the Data Science Manager. Everyone I interacted with was really nice and helpful. They also weren't pushy about the start date.

Coding Case Behavioral Technical

The interview process began with a recruiter phone screen, followed by an online coding test. Then, there was a case study that had a 3-day completion time. After that, I had a peer interview and a stress test which needed to be completed quickly. Finally, I had interviews with the manager and the VP. This whole process took over a month, which is why I decided to withdraw my application.
