Behavioral Coding Presentation
I had a 30 minute call with HR, then a 1 hour meeting with the head of the team. We discussed my past experience and they asked some coding questions. After that, I was given an assignment to complete and present within a week. Finally, I did a 1 hour case study presentation with the team. I got a verbal offer, but they later rescinded it.

Technical Coding Behavioral
To start, I had to fill out a Google Form asking about my interest in DataCamp and general availability. Next, I had to complete two out of four DataCamp assessment tests, choosing from Python, Data Science using Python, Data Science using R, and R. Once I passed those, I got an online interview. They asked generic questions and another coding test where I had to find the current syntax for obscure commands in data science libraries using Python or R. The interview felt really rushed, and honestly, they seemed more focused on promoting their brand than actually assessing candidates' skills and experience.

Had a video call on zoom that went for about 20 minutes. They asked questions, with about 90% about the company and 10% about me. Then they told me all about the job, and I got to ask my own questions.
