Applied through LinkedIn, got contacted the next day by a recruiter. She was helpful and explained the role and that there would be a technical challenge that would take 72 hours to complete. It was a lengthy assignment that was not hard, but was very tedious and would require longer than the allotted time to do thoughtfully under any other circumstances. Got an automated email less than a day after completing the assignment rejecting me. Given they are asking you to take considerable time to do their take home assignment, it was the least they could do to have a real person email me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Data manipulation, understanding two-sided marketplaces, logistic regression
Don't do it!!! It's been mentioned previously but this process will suck the life out of you. The organization is so disorganized and every step of the process from getting feedback from the HR screen to the actual take home exam, takes days/weeks to hear back. The onsite is a mess. The managers for mine failed to show up yet still wanted to see my powerpoint. Don't waste your time unless you don't have other alternatives.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you faced a challenge, how did you overcome it.
Applied, received phone call 2 weeks later, got a take-home exercise, burned a few days just to dedicate to the exercise, then got an automatic rejection
Recruiter was inexperienced and unprofessional where she couldn't properly explain the expectations
For the amount of effort, you might as well talk to a friend to get a referral link to Google/Facebook/Microsoft and use the time to study for those guys' interview
The unclear expectations probably came from the middle management and this directly reflects on the middle management's capabilities - blurry goals and vision
Recruiting is supposed to be a 2-way street, and the current recruiting process is a reflection of sentiment that's furthest away from "belong anywhere"
You're better off with a more prestigious company than to be wasting time here
