Applied online. Had first 1 hour technical/behavioral interview. 2 SQL questions + behavioral questions. Then got sent take home exercise. The exercise took hours since they wanted you to create your own dataset, make sense of the ask, and make a presentation for professional stakeholders. the document sent that explained the exercise had typos, wasn't clear, and seemed rushed. Then, two days later got a rejection email with no feedback. If you expect the applicants to all spend hours and days on the exercise, the least they could do is give feedback. Waste of my time.
