Technical Coding
Applied online and got contacted by Foot Locker HR a couple days later. After a day or two, I had a chat with a Principal Data Scientist, who mentioned they wanted to move quickly. A day or two after that, I received a Data Science and programming test. The next work day after submitting my answers, they scheduled a technical interview online. They pushed it back by a week, making it two weeks after I submitted the test. Honestly, I'm not sure why I even showed up for the technical interview; the test and the delay were quite annoying. During the technical meeting, there was a lot of background noise from the interviewer's open office, and the interviewers seemed a bit too young and inexperienced. I wasn't impressed and told them the only reason I'd consider working there is the salary, which turned out to be below market. Given the delays and what I heard, it feels like they were more interested in solving a problem than hiring me.
