The interview process was lengthy and ultimately disappointing. It began with a 45-minute online interview, focused heavily on theoretical statistics and epidemiology, structured like an exam with many short questions. This was followed by a demanding, week-long take-home test and concluded with two on-site interviews: one to present and explain my test solution and code, and a second for cultural fit. Overall, the experience was poor. Despite requiring a significant time commitment, as if candidates were fully available, the company’s response times were slow, with the process extending over seven weeks. After the in-person interviews (where they were polite and friendly), promised timelines for decisions weren’t met, with delays, non-transparent communication, and ultimately ghosting. I only received a response after reaching out to another interviewer on LinkedIn to inquire about the status.
