New Hire beware! I would classify this company as rapidly growing. From the interview process, I was not very impressed to say the least. At least from a Graduate student perspective(I could see this as a good entry level position for a new undergrad). I got the sense that they are hiring just to fill warm bodies. They do not have a growth strategy, and upper/senior management is highly disconnected from the middle managers. Some of their screening processes are not designed to hire the right people for their positions. One person on super day had a background in cybersecurity, and they brought him to interview for a data analyst/scientist position. During the Skype interview when I asked the senior manager "What is your company's mission statement?" His answer was, "to tell you the truth, we probably have one, but I don't know it." This should be a warning sign that this company is growing without clear leadership and direction in a very disjointed manner. I also asked what why the company would consider someone with my background (as I have a ton of experience) when most of their data science clients just want them to rebuild current Excel reports into Tableau. I also asked what the company would do to incorporate my other talents if I was hired since I was clearly over-qualified for this position. Their response was just gibberish. I think they were caught off guard by someone who would dare interview them and put them on the spot light. Additionally, some of their biggest competitors are not only the Big Four, but also Georgia Tech (and I would also suspect Georgia State to some degree), so once again NOT impressed. Super-day was 6 hours on a Friday right before the holidays (once again not taking students into account; Friday may make the day go by fast for people working at the company, but it makes a very long week even longer for a student, not to mention that it is towards the end of the semester when grad students are making that last final push) and sectioned in 5 parts. They split us up into 2 groups. In the morning, one group went into a Tableau "training", which was just a power point presentation by one of the data scientists who built a dashboard and very rudimentary at that. I would consider that a waste of time for someone who builds Tableau dashboards for their internship (yes, this is the type of projects they get their data scientists). The other group would be in their "technical interviews". Then the 2 groups would switch places. The technical interview was much abbreviated for me since I had my 2nd round Skype interview with the same person. He did not have any additional "technical" questions for me other than a repeat of one of the questions I fumbled in the previous round (because I do my clean my data in Python), so when he phrased in Python I got it right away. Then it was time for lunch, which was greatly appreciated and which they did not skimp, but very heavy that it made me sleepy, since I didn't sleep well the night before. After lunch was a "team building exercise", which was just the marshmallow challenge. If you haven't heard of it, it's the new norm, and very over done by now, but apparently not since there were still many others who had not done one before. Then spent the next 10 minutes watching a TED talk youtube video. =A very big waste of my time because it gives the impression that interviewer was much more knowledgeable or capable to less trained eyes, but I won't be fooled because the real impression that I got was his inability to communicate his own original ideas. But then again, he was preaching AGILE just like the fad that it is. While I think that there are great pieces to AGILE, I think that a strict interpretation or adherence to it is the irony of how not to be AGILE, since you need to have the creativity and foresight to adapt it to your specific company. Then they put me on a 30 min break, but it wasn't a break at all. They had people babysit me and expect me to be engaged with everyone at all times, but as an introvert, I was just purely exhausted.Then I finally headed back to the interview with upper management. Where this director had told me that my report for the day made it seem like I was disengaged. By this time, I already knew that this was not the company for me. So I took the opportunity to lay out some very real concerns about this company just to show how much thought I have given this company at every turn of the day and how they were going to under-utilized me and under-value me given what I was presented and how disconnected she was with the middle management “technical” people. I will say though I do appreciate how responsive the HR recruiter was, and how she would follow up and answer every single question I had. I emailed her my question about the company's mission statement, and it took her a week to respond, but she did respond, so kudos to her.
