I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BetterUp (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2021
Interview
After schedule twice, I talked with HR, he told me about the company and this position, specifically asked me about my skills list in JD, pretty much a normal HR round, and no move forward.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself/your experience on data analysis, build a ML model
Recruiter screening followed by a 45-minute coding interview with a very impressive data scientist. As a perk for getting that far into the interview, I was given access to the BetterUp platform for 1 month. That was a great gift and experience.

Question 1
Coding interview asking to find duplicates and rank them based on their values.
I connected with BU through a recruiter who set me up for conversation interviews with a team member and then the CTO. This was followed by a coding exercise, on-sites, and a meeting with one of the cofounders. They were very flexible with timelines, accelerating my schedule to meet my needs as I was in process with other companies. The team was very transparent about their values and challenges and open to answering tough questions. The interviews focused heavily on soft skills such as collaboration and leadership. They did a great job providing face time with members of partner teams to give insight into how the ML team fits into the business on the whole. I could tell the culture was well-aligned with the company's mission!
