The interviews involved more interesting discussion-based problem solving/slight probing into thought processes rather than any more basic (but common) Q&A direct testing of knowledge. No coding was involved during the interview process.

Question 1
Describe how I would approach handling/using unstructured text-based data.
I first got the online assessment and passed it. Then I had a phone call with an HR person who informally scheduled a video conference interview with me on the phone but never got back to me after the phone call. I wasn’t sure what happened there. I think at least they should reply to my email and tell me what’s going on.
