Chicago, ILPosted Mar 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first step was a HackerRank coding test that lasted about two hours with four coding questions.

Even though the job description emphasized Matlab, what I actually received on HackerRank didn’t line up with that at all—it wasn’t based on Matlab (or even R), which immediately felt a bit mismatched. I ended up coding in Matlab and then emailed HR separately to flag the discrepancy.

The test itself felt designed for people who are comfortable in a CS-heavy environment, and that bias against my background made the whole thing harder than it needed to be. After submitting, I later got rejected.

No offer came through, and honestly the mismatch between what was advertised and what was tested
