Entrevista
Applied via a referral and the referral transferred me to a recruiter. The recruiter was extremely inflexible in planning a call with me. The only time they were available was 7:30am my local time--and that was later than their original proposal. Once we were finally on the call, the connection was really bad but the recruiter didn't even try to make sure I could understand what they were saying. The call itself was a bit disorganized with the recruiter opening with relocation benefits and salary rather than a description of the role. I didn't get invited to proceed to the next round even though my background is a reasonable fit for the role. Overall impression was the recruiter had a 9-5 mentality and was just going through the motions to get me off the call.

Interview process was solid and relevant. There were three rounds: one technical, one business case directly tied to the role, and one focused on company alignment. Most rounds included case studies, which tested problem solving approach along with technical knowledge. The conversations were clear and to the point. Main focus was on how you approach problems and whether that fits with the company values. Reading about the values and culture beforehand is important

Follow up questions from case study, questions about experimentation
30 mins phone screen with recruiter, next round will be with 2 data scientists and discuss on a business case. Seems like they did have some opinion on that question, it was not like a open discussion.
I talked with manager and recruiter. Some questions about personality and some about technical skills. Some were more difficult then others. The people were quitte nice. But a lot of competition
