Two phone screens then an in person interview. The interview was of medium difficulty. There were some hypothetical scenarios pricing typical things that would be sold on the website. Interviewed with director of pricing, two associates and then the manager of the pricing group. Questions ranged from critiques of resume to why I would have an interest in Big Data.
