Met with recruiter, pandas screen and hiring manager. The recruiter was very helpful and gave a lot of information on what to expect. The pandas screen was not difficult, but there was an ambiguous question I wasn't sure how to answer.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cash App (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The case study was quite difficult—harder than most companies I’ve seen. It seems they prioritize experienced candidates. It involved advanced SQL queries and Python pandas for data manipulation.
Python - pandas
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cash App (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
Decent process good recruiter. He reached out to me along with another division head and called me for the interview. I took 1 week to prepare and at the end they said I scored 1 mark less in python so rejected me.
