3 phone interviews. First interview with recruiter, second with hiring manager, and third with hiring manager’s team. In the last interview, I was asked really strange questions (e.g., what’s your favorite statistical test? do you use r or r studio? what do you do on the weekends?). Given that the last interview was only scheduled for an hour, they could have asked me more technical questions — considering that I was applying to be their Data Scientist.
Also, the recruiter was probably the most unprofessional internal recruiter I’ve ever worked with. Never addressed me by my name in any emails, tried to convince me their Data Scientist salaries are fair for the market (spoiler alert: they’re not), and ghosted me after the 3rd round of interviews. Eventually the HM had to send the rejection email, since the recruiter dropped the ball. Super unprofessional and a waste of the everyone’s time.
