A recruiter reached out to me and suggested I interview for a domain-specific position. Continued with an interview with a hiring manager -- great intro about the team, organization and company, along with a very short discussion on the particular domain vision etc. The recruiter requested my availability for the next interviews and then have not responded for a week. I reached again later -- and then they responded. Next, I was supposed to have a technical leadership interview followed by the stats/math interview. Instead of the technical leadership interview I got scheduled into a technical IC coding interview: I asked my interviewer that we are in the right meeting who confirmed that this is a technical leadership interview indeed (no pun intended). Funny enough, when I asked how the subject of this technical connects to the duties of a data science manager, he said: 'oh they don't do any of that' -- still he was certain I was in the right space. This part included a couple probability questions, one and half easy Leetcode problem and a few easy machine learning questions. What could be better than an impromptu LC interview! Again, I was not supposed to have this interview but because of the recruiter/coordinator mistake was interviewed for this. Next was a statistics/math interview with very theoretical textbook-based questions on linear regression and probability and one more application-focused question on A/B testing. After that the recruiter reached out with an apology confirming that I was scheduled a wrong interview. I ended up doing a technical leadership interview a few weeks later since the communication with recruiter was very slow again (no timelines provided). Two weeks after the interview a recruiter called me (it took them one week to respond to their own original message requesting a call) to inform me that my leadership skills are not sufficient for this role. Through this experience of this wrong interview, the polite but disinterested interviewers (not interested enough even to double-check if we are doing a right interview and save everyone's time),the generic interview topics that have nothing to do with the specific domain that the role is in, and not engaged and transparent recruiting I learned enough about Indeed not to recommend it as a company.
