I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Redfin
Interview
The recruiter was friendly and efficient in scheduling the onsite interviews. There were 5 interviews onsite includind the lunch interview. The first interview was about the past and a Modeling question. The second interview was a lunch interview. The third and fourth ones were on similar track as the first one.
I personally found myself in a better place with culturally diverse teams. This one was not very diverse and seems like almost everyone has developed a habit of saying ‘oh! You just did this’. This thing was particularly belittling. It made me feel worthless for my current employer. I didn’t expected that kind of behavior. There were other little things that hampers the thinking of an interviewee like talking in Mandarin during panel interview. Lastly, one of the interviewer grinned a lot on my failures to do a particular question. I am thankful for their time but overall, I believe that they should respect and behave more professionally with the interviewee who is taking a day off.
The process was pretty standard. Spoke with the recruiter, hiring manager, did a take home assignment, and then came on site for an interview. Apparently they were very uncertain about who or what they were looking to hire, which is partially why they have been trying to fill this role for about four months. Overall, I wish they had been more honest before inviting me up to Seattle. If you wanted an economist, I'd have gladly declined and not wasted two days of my life. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE!
Suggestion: next time, be honest with candidates about what you want. Also, decide what you what. THERE IS A BIG REASON WHY YOU HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR OVER FOUR MONTHS TO FILL THIS ROLE
