Applied online, phone call scheduled ~ 4 weeks later. First half we talked about the current projects I work on. At the midway point the interviewer informed me their Data Science Manger position requires prior manager experience, which I had none and could have easily been looked for in my resume. The interviewer mentioned I would therefore be put on the entry level DS track. Last half of the interview went through very basic A/B test analysis. The interviewer seemed flustered when I asked about dealing with covariants in the experiment. I declined my interest.
If interested in applying to this position, mention up front if you meet the qualifications before wasting an hour on the phone screen.

Bait and Switch. Not sure this position ever existed. Had two video interviews. In the second they are trying to "sell" me on a senior data scientist position. I said I was uninterested. Apparently that was not enough. They continued to contact me. In total, I had to tell them three times I was not interested in a position I didn't even apply for. The management came off as unethical and immature. Think Uber.
