Entretien
Technical screening and onsite rounds were done pretty smoothly. Overall the interview questions weren't that difficult, SQL questions were easy, focus was more on the product case and A/B testing related. Interviewers were nice and easy to talk to. Recruiter was pretty responsive but wasn't entirely transparent about the level or the process after the onsite rounds until I explicitly asked. I've been in the team matching phase for 2 months now which is pretty slow and I don't really get updates from my recruiter when/if the team doesn't want to move forward. I'm just assuming since I don't hear updates that they don't. I also don't think my package has even been sent to HC yet until after a successful team match has happened.
Recruiter has kind of been responding slower ever since I mentioned I made it to the team match at another company. Makes me feel like they don't really care about me and wasting everyones time. Still waiting to see if I get an offer or if I'll be stuck in the team match phase forever.
In the technical round, I faced a challenging A/B testing question regarding YouTube thumbnails that pushed my analytical skills. I was also asked to discuss metrics for evaluating user engagement, which had me thinking on my feet. The behavioral section was tough, but I found the principles I studied on PracHub to be incredibly relevant. The overall experience was intense and demanding, yet I received an offer in the end. Ultimately, I decided to decline, as I felt it wasn't the right fit for my career goals.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Design an A/B test to evaluate the impact of a new YouTube homepage thumbnail design on user watch time. How would you choose the success metric, sample size, and handle novelty effects?
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience

Got email from the HR and scheduled 2 virtual onsite interviews. It went well. I went through another 3 rounds of VO. My packet was submitted to the committee. They do not like it and gave me another round of VO. In the 6th round VO, my application got rejected. It was a total waste of time for everyone.
