Entrevista
Applied online in late May as a recent PhD graduate. E-mailed by a recruiter within a week, who scheduled a phone call with her for mid-June and had me fill out a questionnaire describing my data analysis experiences and statistical skills. The phone call was 5 minutes where she told me the next step would be a technical Hangouts interview with a Data Scientist and to study applied statistics and programming in a Google Doc. My interview was scheduled for early July. In the Hangouts interview, he asked just stats questions, no programming. I was unable to solve the last problem, he didn't really provide any hints. The next day the recruiter told me I would not be moving on.

30 minute phone screen with HR, followed by an interview with the hiring manager. HR would not even provide a salary range for the role, which was very weird. The HR rep was not familiar with the role and seemed to be reading from the JD when I asked questions about it.
