The initial two rounds were very positive and there was great energy in the room, with different interviewers each time. In the 3rd round, I presented an advanced data analysis report and a presentation. However, it seemed the American manager had made up her mind based on my appearance or nationality in the first 30 seconds, or she might have been preoccupied with other matters, as she wasn't listening and unfortunately, her attention was not there, as well as her eye contact. The outcome was as expected. This experience highlights the influence of external factors on interview decisions.

First was a 30 minute phone interview, then 2 in-person interviews at Kepler. First in-person was with two senior analyst who were both really welcoming and informative. First part was just bunch of behavior questions then to design an ad campaign. Second part was a data case study on a client of Kepler. Last round of interview was with the director and a five minute presentation of my choice.
