J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 7 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Fulcrum Analytics (New York, NY) en avr. 2018
Entretien
On campus interview, a technical phone interview, an on-site interview with 5 people.
The initial interview just checks your general interest and motivation for a Data Science consulting role, asks a SQL/data wrangling type of question, and a Probability based problem.
During the technical phone interview, we discussed some past projects and used those to go into more detail about the methods and techniques that were used. Testing your general understanding of the concepts, and also the ability to communicate clearly.

The HR or the Recruiter I was working with let me down big time. As everyone knows, there was a storm / blizzard in New York on 4th of Jan, and that was when my interview was scheduled for. I could not get an Uber for a long time, and could not make it to the 9:00AM interview as there were no cabs to be found.
I called the HR and requested her to reschedule the interview, and she asked me to reach their HQ within 30 minutes the same day or forget about the interview. 30 minutes from Piscataway NJ to 40th Street NY ? Insane!
I drove from Virginia to New Jersey the previous night to attend this interview, and had invested a lot of time and effort to get this far (final round). I believe they might have had ended their search, and that's probably why the recruiter could afford to be so inconsiderate to me.
If this is how things work at Fulcrum, I am really happy I did not continue with the interview. It would be a nightmare to be working with such people who will not consider even a snowstrom as a reason to reschedule an interview for a candidate in their final round who drove down 5+ hours for the interview.
