J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Whatnot en mars 2024
Entretien
First round Call with the hiring manager for a mini case study.
Second round was a tech screen for SQL and Python (Heavy on SQL, light on Python) with a mini case study.
Third round was a panel cut into four parts, two focused on specific skills and two focused on behavioral. Data transformation, experiment design/execution were the focus of the skills portions. Behavioral were more or less typical with the data scientist specific portion focused on how you engage with non-technical business partners.
Last round was lower pressure (specifically told that there was no need to prepare anything) and was designed more to give me the floor to ask more specific questions about the role, team, company, direction, etc.
Extremely prompt with follow up and moved through everything very quickly, from application to offer letter was just about 3 weeks.

Recruiter call followed by a hiring manager interview, and then a technical round consisting of multiple back-to-back rounds, including coding proficiency (Python and SQL), metric evaluation, and a product understanding case study. The process was very quick, and they did not waste time between rounds, but turns out they were hiring for a senior role, and I was not a match. Interesting how they realised that 5 rounds into the process.

Recruiter reached out.
Two technical rounds and four case study/ critical thinking rounds.
They move extremely fast. And the recruiter is one of the most professional and fast-turn around. The interviewing experience has been great!
