Started with a recruiter phone screen to discuss the company and position as well as salary expectations (external). First round was a screen with the hiring manager to talk about DS background and through case study and a technical phone screen that tested SQL and A/B testing knowledge.

Slow process. Recruiting took a couple weeks in between each interview to get back to me. I hadn’t heard back for around 3 weeks and then got a call stating that the team thinks I’m not quite “senior level”, and that the salary range would be dropping approximately $50k. However, in the interview I was more than able to answer questions and had demonstrated I’ve done many of the things they’re trying to accomplish. I had very good feedback from the interviewer, stating “we definitely want to move you forward in the hiring process”. I asked for feedback from the recruiter as to why I am not viewed as “senior level” after getting good feedback in the interview. After about a week and a half, still no feedback. Bottom line: It seems this team doesn’t know what they're looking for quite yet and are wasting candidates time while they figure it out.
