Recruiter was proactive and wanted to hire a SDS for their eCommerce division. She then scheduled the tech interview with someone who has about 2-3yrs of experience and also a Sr Data Scientist. It was obvious that he lacks experience. At the conclusion, he replied that he thinks that I am a fit for the role. A few days later, I received negative response concluding the interviews.
The hiring manger never spoke with me. I was told that they are hiring like crazy! My interview was similar to another review but mine did not make it to codality.
Waste of time.

The HR person sent me an email to set up the first screening interview. On the interview day, 5 mins before the interview, I got an email to cancel the interview because the HR’s dog was sick. I tried to reschedule the interview several times through email but never got a response. I then followed up by phone two weeks later and the HR told me that she completely forgot it and it was her mistake and she will send my resume to the hiring manager. I finally received no interview callback at all and got a rejection through email a week later.
The HR person was very disorganized in their selection process and failed to treat candidate with respect.
