Neutral

United StatesPosted Apr 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied for the Data Scientist role and ran into a hard, multi-step technical pipeline spanning HR outreach to timed assessments, ending without an offer.

HR outreach — initial contact after applying online.
HackerRank OA — an online assessment on HackerRank.
Take-home project — a multi-hour take-home deliverable.
Live coding interview (HackerRank) — a mini-project style live coding session on HackerRank. Outcome: I didn’t get the offer; the overall feel was difficult and heavily practical, with several substantial coding components beyond the OA.
