Spoke with an HR rep about Dataminr and why I wanted to work there. Pretty low energy, and even the recruiter didn't seem too excited about the product.
Then met with an engineer on Google Meet along with Coderpad-io. No collaboration at all on the coding problem. It's basically them staring at your code for about 45 minutes, and even if you ask questions, they say ok and then keep silent.
They mentioned towards the end that they liked the work environment because there's a lot of collaboration between engineers. Didn't seem that way if they're not willing to speak a word during the interview...

Interview
Recruiter seemed a bit rushed/reading from script, asked about some very specific things from work experience (not in resume, seemed like they were looking for key words for me to mention). At time of interview the company seemed to be in a hurry to hire. Interviewer was friendly and engaged in the interview - LeetCode/many edge cases type question.
Initial phone screening followed by 1 hour technical screening consisting of leetcode style problems. Next step is 3 rounds consisting of 2 more coding rounds and a behavioral round with the hiring manager. Overall pretty standard interview process but poor communication from the recruiter. After the final round I was completely ghosted, reached out to recruiter multiple times to get no response.
