Hiring manager reached out via email and then we setup call. Then spoke to HR about benefits etc. First interview was 4 hr long hackerrank assessment. A model building exercise, simple and straightforward. Then the HR scheduled 4 interviews 2 technical 1 with team and 1 with Hiring manager. 1st interview - python assessment! Gave me a sample data frame, gave a problem statement and asked me to code up some equation. The interviewer was hinting me in the right direction and specifically said me I can google anything I want! That round went well 2nd interview was on discussing data science assessment and open discussion around a hypothetical case study! It was pretty good too 3 days before next interview recruiter called me saying they are not moving ahead and will be cancelling other scheduled calls! I wasn’t told these were eliminating rounds! Also the recruited said me they wanted someone with strong python skills! I stumbled in the first interview on one simple thing so I chose to google it! In my opinion that was something the interviewer caught up and possibly rejected me stating they need someone strong in python. In my opinion you can’t be ‘open to google’ and reject someone for googling something simple at the same time! Anyway not my loss ! Saved myself two hrs ! Hope you find it helpful

Recruiter reached out. Had a chat with a recruiter and one manager and was scheduled for an onsite. My feeling is that this one of those companies trying to hire Data Scientists because everyone else is hiring Data Scientists. This should tell you all you need to know
