The phone interview was pretty standard and straightforward, and HR was very nice explaining the position. She asked my experience with Twitter and journalistic background, and why am i interested at Dataminr. I got a second interview with the manager of the team I will be working at. She is a bit distant and cold, I feel. Her questions are divided into information processing and events that are going on in the region that I am applying for. I feel it is a bit unfair that she only asked specific politics related questions without actually taking my academic and cultural background into considerations. She was asking my predictions and opinions on certain ongoing events , but at the same time she said she was not asking for my political views. I googled her experiences and I know she is an expert in the field, but it is not really fair to keep all the questions on politics - it's her explaining to me that Dataminr deal with all kinds of information, then the questions should be of a variety of topics. If anyone is interested in applying for DE, it's better you have some opinions on the current event, not just be aware of what's going on. The HR did not reply to me at all and five days later i got a rejection letter.
