It was a pretty standard interview process. First, a 30-minute call with the Insights Manager, then a data analysis task to do at home. After that, you had to defend your work in a meeting with the manager and some other team members.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process involved a call with HR, followed by a call with the Lead Insight Analyst. The final stage included a video call with the Lead Insight Analyst and a Data Analyst, and then another with the head of Data Science. The team was friendly and the interview was enjoyable. However, I was told I'd hear back in a week after the final interview, but it took almost two weeks to get a response after I reached out, and found out I wasn't successful. They couldn't provide any specific feedback even though it was the final stage.
