The interview process was really good. It started with an HR interview. The HR representative was smart and on point; she knew exactly what the IT team needed and screened accordingly.

After that, there was a phone interview with the hiring manager. He was technically brilliant and well-informed, not only about what he was working on but about the IT world in general. He wanted the candidate to be truly passionate about the position. His interview included several SQL and many BI questions. He definitely offered help if I was stuck somewhere, and that was nice to see.

This was followed by a phone interview with my immediate supervisor on the team, who asked me about my work experiences and interests. A week after that interview, I was called for a face-to-face interview at Dania Beach and introduced to the team – a group of brilliant people, each with superior technical skills and star-studded work experiences.

I was well-prepared because of my research on the company and the interview panel in general. I was tested on my SQL, SAS, and statistical skills in the interview.

Meanwhile, Chewy had made sure my trip was comfortable all the way and had made excellent arrangements for my travel and stay.

Overall, it was a great experience with some intense discussions about Data Sciences and IT in general. My advice is to be prepared. Make sure you have read the job description out loud several times to get a feel for it and have a passion for the same. Be honest and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Lots of SQL questions and queries, conceptual knowledge about the software, and statistics in general.
