1 phone screen 1 take home 2nd phone interview (cancelled) Undoubtedly most unpleasant interaction of the nearly twenty companies I interviewed with. 1st phone screen was a solid discussion of the structure and nature of Rifiniti's data with mostly a data engineering dimension. The phone screener said that the take-home exercise would take 6 hours to complete. I considered it an unreasonable ask, and we agreed that I would provide a work sample and spend an hour on Rifiniti's take-home questions. When I received the questions, they were largely basic math problems that you can google but still would take 6+ hours to do well. The Executive VP scheduled an interview, then cancelled the interview with <24 hours notice on account of the take home. As a extra bonus, the EVP replied with a personal insult. I honestly think that Rifiniti has an interesting business opportunity providing analytics on office space utilization. This interview was remarkably disastrous, but I sometimes people have bad days. Both the EVP and I could have handled the situation better.
