I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Dataminr (Melbourne) in June 2020
Interview
Started well, ended very poorly.
The interview process was long. Really long. Throughout the process, the hiring manager was pretty active when responding to emails which was helpful, and was very courteous on the phone. The process included an initial written application, short interview with the hiring manager, an online test, and then two longer interviews with staff in the Melbourne office. This process took a few months.
However, after not hearing back for some time, Dataminr essentially ghosted me. The hiring manager initially offered feedback, and then ignored three emails. So did the other Dataminr staff member I had contact with. Extremely unprofessional, and after a long process, it left a very bad taste in my mouth.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Dataminr (London, England)
Interview
Had a first interview which went really well, then had a test which went great too, then had an interview with a Senior Director and the interview went really well and I had all the skills required but I was rejected. I was very confused and asked for feedback but never received any. Impossible to get in touch with anyone and the only person who would assist referred me to the HR person who never answered my request. Would recommend that the company and the people they hire put more effort into answering emails and providing a way to communicate with the people who interviewed you.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Dataminr
Interview
Did so many interviews (5 in total) as well as a quiz. It was an extremely lengthy process and there must not have been any communication between the different interview panels as they asked the same questions each time. It became very repetitive and draining.
