United StatesPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied for the Data Scientist role and experienced a long, fair-butcommitment-heavy process that ended with me being unresponsive after the case study.

Recruiter call — 30 minutes covering my background and fit.
OA — 90-minute HackerRank-style assessment.
Two DS interviews — one behavioral and one technical.
Week-long case study + presentation — a substantial take-home assignment culminating in a presentation.
Onsite round — described as happening after the case study/presentation, but I was ultimately ghosted after submitting. Outcome: No offer; the takeaway was that the interviews themselves felt fair, but the process dragged and stalled after the case study.
