Overall, the company is working on some interesting and valuable work and the people seemed sharp, for the most part.
But there were two major red flags for me.
First is that they describe the role as a "data science" role throughout the whole process, but once you get through all the interviews, it's clear from the questions they ask you that this is actually a SQL jockey role. The most technical thing I was asked was some simple python stuff (think easier than Leetcode easy). The rest had to do with pulling data and designing product metrics. If the company is going to be this misleading to candidates up front, I worry about what else they would lie about.
Second, several of the interviews were broad and open-ended case interviews, but the interviewers were clearly looking for specific answers to most of their questions and weren't able to adapt if I gave them a valid but alternative answer. Not only is this frustrating, it's a sign that Flatiron isn't investing in smart interviewing.

Colloquio
Upfront hacker rank for screening, one general live coding screening and then 4 - 5 rounds of comprehensive interview including behavioural and live coding. Interviewers are nice but you need to be extra careful of they saying something nice during the interview. They express their opinions in distorted way that you think it's fine to explore a bit, but they already have their opinion settled if you don't understand their very subtle hints. In my case, somehow they deemed one of my live coding incomplete in the feedback which I totally disagree. They could just said that in the interview so I could just speed up.

I applied in april 2023. After 5(!) extremely time consuming interviews with 5 different people and a take-home task, I was rejected. The interviews were kind but some of them felt disinterested. The reason for their rejection was very vague, and they tried to present themselves as accomodating, but weren't really. It felt disrespectful after the ammount of time I wasted.
