It was quick. They moved to the next stages fast if you did well. When I didn't hear from them for over a week it was over. I enjoyed speaking with them, they were nice.

The interview process was pretty straightforward and laid out well in an information packet I was sent towards the start of the process. There's an initial phone screen with the recruiter, a SQL assessment, and a longer "virtual onsite" interview which consists of a Data Analyst case, a behavioral/culture fit interview, and an interview dealing with cross-functional collaboration. There's also a manager Q&A, but this is not an evaluative interview. The process was managed well and efficiently. I thought that my interviews with the data team were positive from a candidate experience perspective. The interviewers were all friendly, supportive, and answered any questions I had openly and candidly. Most of my interviewers were recent additions to the team (<2 years in most cases), and I did notice that there was only one interviewer with a longer-term tenure. However, the cross-functional interview was a jarring change in tone from previous interviews. After answering the first question, the conversation became bogged down in the finer technical details of a project I had discussed. The interviewer seemed to focus heavily on critiquing and picking apart my work for over half the interview, which really threw me off given this interview was supposed to focus on collaboration with other teams. It felt like the interview strayed from its stated purpose and turned into an interrogation rather than a discussion. After moving on to another question, this pattern continued with another project I talked about and made this portion of the interview feel more like a critique session than a collaborative conversation. I walked away from this part of the process feeling quite disappointed since my experience with the data team had been positive. Ultimately, I did not receive an offer. The recruiter scheduled a call for the following day to deliver the news. While I appreciate the effort to provide feedback with a personal touch, my own feedback would be to clarify the purpose of the call beforehand so as not to create anxiety and/or false hope for the candidate.
