First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Pearl.
Analyst
HR was very lazy to respond. Hiring Manager was always on PTO according to HR. My friends were given the same reason. I was told the same thing that the Hiring Manager is on PTO and will get back next week. They say 3-4 weeks but it's actually more. The position has been open for 3 months. Don't waste candidates' time if you are not serious.
- Generic HR questions.
- SQL take home assessment.
- Call with Hiring Manager discussing background, SQL assessment, and case study.
Analyst
I dropped my resume at a college career fair. About a week later, I got an email from HR and we set up a phone interview. The phone interview wasn't technical. They asked me to talk about my research and what I'm looking for in a job. Then, I got invited to visit the company's office in San Francisco. I spent an afternoon there meeting employees and explaining how I'd tackle some problems they presented. They asked me for referrals and I got an offer within a week.
- What is your motivation for working in tech?
Analyst
It was a phone screen with HR, then another phone screen with the Sr. Manager. I wasn't selected for the next round, which would have probably been an analytical test, followed by a final onsite interview if I passed.
- Can you explain the R-squared value to someone who doesn't have a technical background?
- Based on historical income data, how would you forecast the income for the next quarter?
