Average Negative New York, NY

The process started with an online assessment that, from what I was told, only a small fraction of applicants passed. Once I got through, a recruiter call set a positive tone and felt encouraging.

The technical screen right after was the one that threw me off. The interviewer opened by introducing herself and asking me to introduce myself and explain why I wanted the firm. We then shifted into my research experience, but she repeatedly seemed confused about the underlying basis and kept steering back to questions like why I would even start with the specific topic. After struggling through that, she pulled up the HackerRank link and I coded in Python for about 40 minutes.

Difficult Negative United States

My experience started with HR scheduling an interview, and then they scheduled it again—both times they didn’t show up. I spent a lot of time waiting, and it felt completely unprofessional. It also made it hard to judge anything about the role itself since the interview never really happened, but the lack of follow-through was the main thing I remember.
