Interview process consisted of 1. Recruiter screen 2. Hiring Manager call 3. Panel interviews - case study, SQL coding, stakeholder 4. Offer Recruiter was nice to speak to and gave a detailed overview of each interview and expectations. The product analytics hiring team were also nice and for the most part I did not feel any stress during interviews. However my experience was mostly negative on how they handled hiring for this role. I was initially told that the range for this position was increased and matched my expectations. When I finished interviewing they could not offer the same base as I was told before. Further I learnt that the hiring manager changed and that was not informed to me. Which made me feel like this role is fairly junior and did not have enough weight, hence I was been auctioned between different hiring teams. There were two other concerns - one was that when I spoke with many team members , I felt this position would be less about predictive modeling/AI and more reactive analytics so basically a SQL monkey role. The second concern was that there was no diversity in the hiring team which was a heavy concern given my priority on career growth.

Applied online with a referral and was contacted by a recruiter shortly after. I had just interviewed for another team and I think they had also decided internally that I was a better fit for the second team although no one from the first team had the authority to hire for the second team.
