My first step was pretty straightforward: I had a recruiter conversation and then moved into technical screens that were aimed more at core data-science thinking than leetcode tricks.

The scheduling felt smooth, and the interviewer guide matched what I ended up seeing—no wild curveballs.

In the technical parts, I worked through SQL questions and product-analytics style prompts, including thinking about A/B testing in a conversational way. The process then progressed into loop-style interviews where I had to connect the dots between metrics and business meaning, not just execute queries. At points the questioning felt time-pressured, with the expectation that I could be efficient while still being accurate.

I didn’t get an offer, and what made it feel a bit demoralizing
