United StatesPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview was a total of about an hour, with 30 minutes of a data science case and 30 minutes of SQL.

I signed an NDA before going into it, but the questions themselves still felt like they had been circulated elsewhere.

The SQL and case segments felt more rigid than flexible—once the prompt was set, it wasn’t really a discussion where they would adapt or redirect much based on what I was thinking.

Difficulty-wise, it felt on the harder side of average. I didn’t get an offer, and what stuck with me was that the format felt strict and fixed, even though I’d expected more room to explore reasoning.
