First, they gave me a take-home project with basic data science problems involving potential clinical questions that can be answered via analyzing the data set that comes with the project. Approximately two weeks later, we had a video chat going over SQL-query-like questions (which could also be addressed via Pandas or other query languages) along with a couple of basic, high-level machine learning-related questions. All steps seem pretty standard. However, I am not a big fan of take-home projects because, depending on your perspective and your level of dedication for problem solving, you could easily end up spending a couple of days (NOT hours but days) to properly address the questions, but the appreciation is certainly NOT going to be proportional to your efforts. Coding projects may work with fresh college graduates but it doesn't make sense to apply the same modality to candidates who graduated from, say, PhD years ago, who also have worked in the research and industry settings for a lot of years. On some level, this is an insult. Worst yet, what is the rationale behind assigning someone who just got his/her Master's degree a couple years ago to interview a relatively senior candidate? Do you think their opinions can truly reflect the ability of the candidates who are probably much more experienced than they are, and who probably have greater levels of expertise than they do? And, despite all questions being answered correctly, the interview result was still negative, suggesting that there isn't a good fit. Of course, there isn't a good fit because your "filter" is wrong in the first place. This is just mind boggling. Is this a dating service in which people are judged mainly from personal bias, or, a professional interview where candidates are valued by their true strengths, skill sets and educational levels? It seems to be more like dating, which is kind of problematic. Very disappointed with their process, dubious standards, and the non-feedback kind of feedback (cookie cutter response basically saying there isn't a match but never tells you why). This kind of interview culture has to stop: biased, nonsensical, wasting people's time. Also, please learn to speak to your audience; at least match their levels. You don't send someone with high-school education to interview graduate students.
