Interview
Heard back from a recruiter ~1 week after I applied. Scheduled two 1 hour interviews back to back with the VP and a Senior Data Scientist. Very odd for the first round to be this long. The first interview with the VP was just really terrible. I answered all his questions correctly. But his attitude was very off putting & obnoxious. He seemed like he didn't wanna be there interviewing me at all. Dude thought he was doing a massive favor interviewing me. Honestly don't see why this guy is a VP. The second interview was quite the opposite. The interviewer was very pleasant, asked me questions with a lot of zest & was very involved & interested throughout. Loved the interview and I answered ~99% of their questions. Heard back after a week that I was rejected. I have no clue why, because I did very well. Don't see any point in interviewing with this company in the future.
