Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Tinder nel mese di dic 2023
Colloquio
Interview process seemed straightforward.
First, HR call with classic HR questions (why this position?), and also more behavioral ones (tell me about a time you took the lead...or similar)
Two "weird" questions, more "brain teasers", like "tinder subscription renews monthly, why do we see a decrease in subscriptions in October?" (Answer: September has 30 days, vs 31 in October)

Domanda 1
Coding take-home assessment: one SQL, one python, one open question.
SQL and Python. SQL on the harder side (joins, window functions, etc)
- SQL one passed 5 out of 7 trial tests. I couldn't understand where the issue was. What frustrated me about this is that if it was a live coding section, it was obvious that I knew how to code on SQL. They use a software that gives a final score (given by share of passes tests and speed as far as I understand), don't know if then someone reviews the code.
- Python one was very basic; it was just a groupby. But then they asked for the solution to be ordered in certain way. When I ordered it, it failed the tests, and when looking at the expected outcome vs my outcome...the expected one was not sorted as required, mine was. So I tried eliminating the sort of my code and pass the test cases...I don't know how many more tests it runs for the score. Again, I left a note in my code about this discrepancy and the commented code of how I was sorting it. No idea if someone reviews afterwards.
I started with a Recruiter Screening phone call, and then had my first round conversational interview with the Hiring Manager who was the Director of Marketing Analytics. I did not make it past this round

In the last round, they would give you a homework to finish which includes part of the recent data of Tinder and you have to generate some ideas from it.
La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Tinder (Los Angeles, CA) nel mese di set 2025
Colloquio
Standard process. Met with the recruiter to discuss data team at Tinder. I chose to not continue the process but would have been a standard data interview with hiring manager and panel.
