Phone interview followed by a data set analysis challenge. Very straight forward and easy. I wasn’t selected, and in the email the recruiter stated if I wanted any feedback to let her know. I reached out (I like learning what my weaknesses are, what they didn’t like, etc.) She never bothered to respond back. Poor look on the company.

They were super friendly and helpful all throughout. Very standard "marketplace" process (e.g. Uber, Instacart, DoorDash). The steps were 1) recruiter phone screen, 2) take-home exercise (24 hours, they give you a dataset), 3) interview with the hiring manager (talked about my experience, a behavioral question, and a small case-like question), 4) interview panel with 5 people.
