Found out via Hackernews, sent an email with resume.
Thoughts:
Throughout the entire process, I felt that Second Measure was extremely respectful of my time. I always got updates within 24 hours, and often received them much quicker. During each round there is a large portion of the interview set aside for questions.
The people I interviewed with were extremely kind and genuinely curious to learn about my background. The questions (especially technical ones) are designed to gauge your understanding without any tricks or gimmicks.
Process:
1. Quick email exercise, nothing major, just to prove that you can write effective client-facing emails.
2. Screening call (30 minutes) with data science manager. Standard screener call where you talk about yourself, your background, and your current responsibilities (especially client facing ones). Others have mentioned that this call may have sounded scripted, but this is probably a combination of Second Measure wanting to maintain a consistent candidate experience, and just how the manager inflects their voice.
3. Product demo, technical rounds (2 hours). In-person if you're local, remote if you're not. Starts with a call with someone on the sales/account management side about how you interact with clients, and then a product demo. Then there were 2 technical rounds (45 minutes) which focused on technical skills like SQL (e.g. how would you query this dataset).
4. Homework/presentation (Second Measure estimates 4 hours). Shortly after the technical rounds, I received the homework project. It can seem daunting if you don't come from a traditional STEM background, but the project is straight forward, with no gimmicks. After your presentation you are asked some questions which gauge your understanding of your findings and how you would do follow-on analysis.
5. Final interview (3 rounds + lunch). Standard behavioral interview. Team is interviewing to see how you think, your experience, and what your goals are.
