I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uptake (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2016
Interview
First I applied online, then I went to a recruiter event and I sent her my resume and after that, I went to an Uptake executive talk and sent him my resume after that too.
Then I was contacted and we set up an interview by phone.
The call was... weird. The Uptake HR person did not give any feedback at all over the phone, and the phone lost connection over 3 times, so this made the "conversation" quite hard.
Right away he asked me to talk about myself, and then let me go indefinitely. I was uncomfortable. Then some routine questions, nothing actually "hard" but more like weird. No chemistry at all. The interviewer did not like to give any feedback, not even if he was listening.
When I felt like I was doing better, he asked me if I had any other questions, because he needed to go to a meeting like, right now. I had a bunch of questions, but we just hanged up.
I realize I did not do a great interview, so I sent a follow up the next day. The day after that, I received an email saying they will not follow up with my application.

Question 1
What projects do you do to keep up with the new data science technologies?
The entire interview process moving from initial phone conversation to final round is fairly short, however, they do a bad job in terms of staying in touch and keeping the candidate informed is reflective of how unorganized this company is.
Interview process consists of a phone call, a take home challenge, and three rounds of technical interview session. One round consisting of explaining the project and the other round consisting of technical questions on the spot. During the take home challenge, you are given 8 hours to complete meaning that if you get the e-mail at 8pm be ready to do an all nighter. Also, make sure to check your e-mail consistently because your time begins when the challenge reaches your inbox.
Please think twice before applying here - probably is not worth your time.
