I was contacted by a recruiter about a potential opportunity. Recruiter was very disorganized. Questions were standard screening questions about background - nothing technical. Also very quick to ask about salary range - slimy. Recruiter took a week to notify me about next steps. Scheduling was difficult because the recruiter was not great at responding throughout the process. Next phone interview - More questions about backgound. Described two projects in which I used data analysis. Interview went fine and took about 30 minutes. While describing the projects, the interviewer often interrupted me to excessively nitpick. No other technical questions or brain teasers. 2 weeks later, given 8 hours to complete a case and put together a presentation for a non-technical audience. 8000 training cases from a previous campaign. Goal was to make a recommendation on 30K potential customers to target given that cost per target is $30. Submitted project and heard back about onsite a week later. At the onsite, I presented the case to a member of the data science team. The guy was flaccid and feckless. He asked very few questions and for him, interviewing was a chore. I then briefly met the head of the data science team - deer in the headlights and underwhelming. After, I spoke with 2 more data scientists. One I had already spoken with earlier. Asked me to describe ANOTHER data analysis project - that's 3 total. Last, I was asked how I'd approach anomaly detection. Easy. I was thoroughly unimpressed with the team. A week later, I received a form email from the recruiter saying no positions matched my skill set. I got no re when I followed up. Overall very bizarre. Awful process, drawn out, opaque, greasy. Company is disorganized and team is mediocre. The founder is also Groupon's founder - how are they doing again? Uptake has no product and one client who just laid off 10K, yet they're worth 1BB? Not getting this job was a blessing in disguise.
