Process

The internal recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I had a recruiter screening call, a 45-minute phone interview, and an onsite interview with four people (45 minutes each). The hiring process was professional and efficient.

  • The recruiter, Michael Greenleaf, understood the role well. Communications and follow-ups were always very prompt. Before each section of the interview, he voluntarily spoke with me for several minutes to make me feel comfortable.
  • The interviewers were well-prepared. Interview questions were effective and interesting, avoiding boring, routine behavioral questions. They not only tested my skills but also wanted to know me as a person. They were polite and nice people who made me feel at ease. I enjoyed the conversations.
  • The whole process, from talking to the recruiter to getting an offer, only took two weeks.

Questions

Tested SQL and shell language, as well as the ability to get insights from data visualization.
