Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interviewer was clear. We talked about projects I work on and some challenges i faced in recent times. Interviewer asked about concurrency and matrix. I gave some idea but not good enough. I am writing this before I have results as I do not think made it.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dataminr in Apr 2025
Interview
Recruiter seemed a bit rushed/reading from script, asked about some very specific things from work experience (not in resume, seemed like they were looking for key words for me to mention). At time of interview the company seemed to be in a hurry to hire. Interviewer was friendly and engaged in the interview - LeetCode/many edge cases type question.
Initial phone screening followed by 1 hour technical screening consisting of leetcode style problems. Next step is 3 rounds consisting of 2 more coding rounds and a behavioral round with the hiring manager. Overall pretty standard interview process but poor communication from the recruiter. After the final round I was completely ghosted, reached out to recruiter multiple times to get no response.
