I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2021
Interview
HR Screen, hiring manager, 6 rounds of peer interviews. Everyone was nice, but recruiter was impossible to get a hold of. Made it past final round, but was left hanging with no offer or and no decline for over a month. Eventually, I told them to withdraw my application.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Rounds below:
1) 30 min phone screen with recruiter to review background and culture fit.
2) 30 min with hiring manager to review culture fit and a few questions how you conduct analytical projects. Normally this round also includes a live tech screen via CoderPad but the hiring manager opted to have that done as a take-home assignment.
4) Take-home assignment consisted of 2 basic SQL questions and a case study that consisted of running an A/B conversion rate test and answering questions on post segmentation analysis and statistical recency.
3) This would have been a 2.5 hour interview but one interviewer was out of office so ended up being 2 hours (30mins for each interviewer) below:
- Interviewer 1: Stakeholder management.
- Interviewer 2: Analytical thought process.
- Interviewer 3: Tech stack and culture fit.
- Interviewer 4: Recap with hiring manager.
Thoughts: The recruiter was not super great. Not really responsive and a bit sketchy. All interviewers seemed fine and engaged.
Ultimately didn't accept because Nordstorm is full of tech debt and felt that the role would just be cleaning up a bunch of messes.
