Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
First step was a phone interview with the recruiter for ~20min. Straightforward discussion of my experience and reasons why I was applying for the job. The recruiter gave me positive feedback and affirmed that they would have me move onto the next steps and interview with one of the managers for the role.
The recruiter told me to call or email with any questions. Never received a follow-up call/email from them weeks later. I sent a follow-up call and email regarding my application status a week later and did not get a single reply. In the future, it would be appreciated to have more honesty and transparency from the recruiters. Don't waste my time telling me that I will move onto the next-steps of the interview process and then lie. I would much rather prefer a quick response saying that my application has been rejected rather than being ghosted.

Why are you interested in this role?
How many years of experience do you have doing, etc.?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Natera
Interview
After passing that initial screening with a recruiter, I was informed about their 3-part interview process with the team including a technical screen (math, stats) and then a programing screen. The final round included multiple meetings including a behavioral screen with the hiring manager, then a data analysis screening with a team member, then a genomic technical screen with another team member, and then another math/stats screen with yet another team member.

How to take a biased coin (whose probability of coming up heads is p, not necessarily equal to 0.5) and “simulate” a fair coin.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Natera in Feb 2025
Interview
I applied online on the company website. I got a questionnaire related to the role to fill in and sent them back with answers within a week. I got an interview with the hiring manager and a team member after 2 weeks.
From just a few interviews I could see that the culture here is terrible. The last interview was with a senior data scientist, who mentioned at least 5 times how busy he is and how he doesn't have time to even interview. He also proceeded to mention 3 times how some of the people he has interviewed are not likeable (whatever that means). I have seen some horrible people, but this was power tripping in a way which was extremely unpleasant. This was the worst interview I have had, which is saying something as the HR also sent me the benefits package and made me think there is an offer and then told me that they will consider me at a later time (?) rather than just telling me that I'm rejected. They have no respect for candidate's time and energy.
