Interview process seemed straightforward.
First, HR call with classic HR questions (why this position?), and also more behavioral ones (tell me about a time you took the lead...or similar)
Two "weird" questions, more "brain teasers", like "tinder subscription renews monthly, why do we see a decrease in subscriptions in October?" (Answer: September has 30 days, vs 31 in October)
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Coding take-home assessment: one SQL, one python, one open question.
SQL and Python. SQL on the harder side (joins, window functions, etc)
- SQL one passed 5 out of 7 trial tests. I couldn't understand where the issue was. What frustrated me about this is that if it was a live coding section, it was obvious that I knew how to code on SQL. They use a software that gives a final score (given by share of passes tests and speed as far as I understand), don't know if then someone reviews the code.
- Python one was very basic; it was just a groupby. But then they asked for the solution to be ordered in certain way. When I ordered it, it failed the tests, and when looking at the expected outcome vs my outcome...the expected one was not sorted as required, mine was. So I tried eliminating the sort of my code and pass the test cases...I don't know how many more tests it runs for the score. Again, I left a note in my code about this discrepancy and the commented code of how I was sorting it. No idea if someone reviews afterwards.
I started with a Recruiter Screening phone call, and then had my first round conversational interview with the Hiring Manager who was the Director of Marketing Analytics. I did not make it past this round

In the last round, they would give you a homework to finish which includes part of the recent data of Tinder and you have to generate some ideas from it.
Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Tinder (Los Angeles, CA) en sept. 2025

Standard process. Met with the recruiter to discuss data team at Tinder. I chose to not continue the process but would have been a standard data interview with hiring manager and panel.
