I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
I was referred by an analyst, and after an informal coffee discussion and a phone screen I was invited for an onsite interview with behavioral, whiteboard, and coding questions.
The interview process was extremely friendly and transparent; the hiring manager explained, explicitly, that Nordstrom likes to "interview [people] in" rather than screen out, and gave some suggestions for what I might be asked about onsite so that I might better-prepare. I think this is a good strategy for revealing peoples' actual competence in relevant technical capacities.
I developed a very favorable impression of their analytics suborganization (the Center of Excellence). Everyone seemed cheerful, capable, and enthusiastic about their work.
Nordstrom returned a competitive offer quickly, and I declined only because another firm made a dramatically-higher offer for a similarly-exciting position (in another job category: the offers were apples-to-oranges).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should we hire you?
[Superficially this seems confrontational, but it's really more of a softball opportunity to sell yourself; and also frankly it's a good and fair question for a candidate.]
First round was recruiter screening, where they asked about A/B testing, ML and Gen AI experience. Role heavily focused on Gen AI , especially recommendation and personalization. Unfortunately, I didn't go past it.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom in Oct 2023
