Process

It was a very nice 30-minute interview. The recruiter was nice, and the questions were really basic. All questions were based on my CV.

First, I introduced myself. Then, he asked me which program I liked most and some questions about that program. After the interview, he asked me if I wanted to consider joining a data analysis team.

Pros: A good learning opportunity. Every new grad can think of joining this company, as this will create a good career for future opportunities.

Cons: The codebase is very haphazard and disorganized, as they are still growing. There might be some internal politics which we are not aware of. Very recently, they laid off more than 200 experienced and new employees. None of them were given notice about this; they were terminated in a day.
