I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hopper in Apr 2025
Interview
I did not hear back about my application until months after submitting it. The outreach was to schedule a call with a recruiter. I was initially excited but after checking the Glassdoor reviews, that excitement faded. I decided to move forward with the call anyway. The recruiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained the process clearly. The process involved a take-home assessment, a presentation, panel interviews, and a final interview with a department head. It sounded excessive, but since I am currently unemployed, I continued against my better judgment.
The take-home assignment involved analyzing datasets and suggesting potential fraud rules. I completed the work and submitted it the very next morning. The following day I received a rejection along with feedback that did not reflect the contents of my submission. It felt generic and disconnected from the work I had done.
Overall I am glad to have been rejected before investing more time into what seems like an overly long and inconsistent hiring process. I am sharing this because I imagine others have had similar experiences. Trust your instincts.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked basic questions about my fraud experience, an example of a fraud investigation I did and the outcome. There weren't technical questions in the initial call.
