Interview process was great as far as interviews go! They were transparent and openly answered all my questions. They were thorough and got a good understanding of me as a potential employee. Remote interview process: Recruiter Screen: Validated my resume and talked to me about the role. Very helpful in finding out more. Manager Call (1 hour): Great call to validate my knowledge and for me to ask questions. Asked a few technical questions (e.g. How do you go about analyzing data) and then a few soft skills questions (e.g. tell a time you resolved conflict). Technical Challenge 1 (1 hour): Provided me a dataset and then asked to model a target variable. Required I set up a dev environment which I did in advance. Did a good job assessing processing of data, checking fields, modeling and checking model outputs. Technical Challenge 2 (1 hour); Similar to before but a different dataset. This one focused more on the modeling aspect and how to define a loss function and optimize it. Leadership/Culture Interview (1 hour): Soft skills and getting to know how I work. Great conversation about how they operate and we went long talking about the work. Closing (1 hour): For the offer they went through a presentation talking about the company and the logic around the offer. Another great opportunity to ask questions and learn more. Note: they have an idealistic compensation strategy based on data science they’ve done with the goal of paying everyone fairly within the company. I believe they care a lot about having a system that lifts everyone up not just benefits new hires and job changes (I hope so). Questions I asked them: Q: What is a story that happened in your workplace that wouldn’t happen somewhere else? A: Working across two geographies (US and China) they have opportunities to learn from each other. Specifically told a story about how they had to divide out work for each region and how they’re building the system to work together. Q: How do you think about keeping engineers engaged and the environment work? A: Focus on how engineers can have impact and build meaningful metrics for knowing the impact individual features are having on saving energy. Q: How are failures addressed? A: Have retrospectives around each incident and work on improving the system not blaming individuals. Q: How do you prioritize and tell me about a time you said no to a product request? A: Do regular triaging and prioritization. Know there are constraints and so they work to build a good product and platform over individual customer requests. This was a thorough interview process. They were very transparent about the company and its performance and really seemed to align their actions to their values.
