Applied online. Got word around week later. Set up a call the following week. For 60 mins! I thought it would be some technical but no. Just behavior and went through my resume. Interview experience: I had a guy interview me and a team member shadow. They didn’t turn on the video call but I did to show myself so I thought that was weird. Big Negative: The interviewer chuckled while reading my resume. So my achievements amuse you? What a Clown. Also the interview was set up for a way too long 60 mins and only came for questions for 30. I used star method in case anyone wants to be the person. Takeaway: I will interview again and I say no one should be discouraged by one individual. Also I’m a way more technical person. I have applied and interviewed for Data science positions at Amazon and so I would suggest to keep things simple to the interviewer because this guy was clueless for a manager. Example: he misunderstood what a R package shiny app was for. He thought I was referring it to be shiny in general. Also this wasn’t the time he chuckled.

The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.
