SANS Institute interview questions

The interview process consisted of four stages. First, there was an initial phone screening with HR discussing the role and my background. This was followed by a technical assessment involving Python and SQL tasks. Then I had a video interview with a data scientist from the team, where we discussed previous projects and tackled a case study involving A/B testing. Finally, I had a behavioral interview with the hiring manager. The entire process took about three weeks.

I went into the screening interview expecting to get more information on the role, the company, benefits, expectations, etc. Little to nothing was offered on this until I asked at the end of the interview. And even then, it was talked around and not clearly communicated. The screener jumped right into very difficult behavioral questions and kept them coming one right after the next. I would expect this from the hiring manager, not the screener. The screener did not make the company or the position enticing at all. It was very intense.
