I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Foundry.ai (Washington, DC) in Jan 2020
Interview
Multi-part interview process. First I had a screening phone call to talk over my resume. I was then given a take-home data science exam. After completing the exam, I had another phone call to discuss my answers with a Senior Data Scientist at the company. Then I was given the opportunity to interview on-site.
The on-site interview was broken into four or five parts, with a lunch break in the middle where two younger employees took me to an excellent restaurant nearby. The interviews were challenging data science, probability, and business case questions. They mostly want to see how you think about challenging problems and observe the way you think.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Many questions were of the flavor, "How would you model this scenario?" or variations on different types of probability questions.
We did an initial phone screen. Then we did 2 remote interviews. Last was a final day of interviews on-site for a full day with 5 - 6 people and a mix of problem-solving and behavioral interviews.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Foundry.ai
Interview
I applied online through their website. Then they set an interview for me with the CEO. It went well and he seemed friendly. Around 3 weeks later, they set the first round of the technical interview with me. The interviewer was not rude, and not friendly either. It was a fair coding question with Data science subject, and a short non coding data science question. I did the code and went well, I was not 100% sure about my answer to the next question tho. It was Friday afternoon, and 3 hours later (6 pm Friday night) I got the rejection email!!! To me it feels like they had already made their decision. Plus, I had read the reviews about their lack of diversity in 2020, and then after I checked their LinkedIn, I realized that ZERO female is working in their R&D (Or they don't have LinkedIn which doesn't seem correct to me). I found it a HUGE red flag.
