Interview
The interview process took approximately 3 weeks. I had an initial call with a technical recruiter on the team, followed by calls with a member of the data science team and the Director of Engineering. Afterward, I completed a clear and straight-forward online assessment followed by a 4-hour onsite. The entire process was clear, straight forward, fair, and was overall a great and well-organized experience.

- Can you describe a time/project in which you disagreed with your coworkers?

Interview
I came across the job posting on Linkedin when it's first available and immediately applied. Received an email from the recruiter the next day to have a screening, then moved on to have a chat with the current team member. In 2 weeks I finished the take-home challenge (a mixture of SQL + analytic scenarios) and was invited to virtual onsite (about 4 hours, hiring manager take-home assignment showcase, cross-functional team chat, cultural add interview, and another live technical interview). It was a long process, but I really enjoy the whole experience! I was never left in the dark by recruiters. They always responded back to me in 48 hours, and everybody was so nice to talk to.

Question 1
Quite reasonable, mostly behavioral-based. I did not feel stressed at all when talking to them, time flew by so fast.

Interview
A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn, then I moved through a four-part interview process.
The first two rounds were a fifteen minute screen with the interviewer and a thirty minute screen with the department's manager. At this stage, the conversations centered around my work experience and values. I always had a good deal of time was made for me to ask questions, and the interviewers gave thoughtful answers.
The third round was a take-home technical test centered around SQL and some applied analytics questions. There weren't curve-balls or trick questions, and nothing was especially abstract -- I was presented with realistic business scenarios and asked how I would approach them. For this portion, I recommend being sure that you're not too rusty on your SQL or on analysis language of choice, Python or R.
The final round was a digital on-site. One portion was a presentation of my take-home technical, one was live-coding in SQL, one focused on my approach to cross-functional collaboration, and one centered around how I relate to the company's values. Again, just make sure you're up to speed on your basic skills. I spent some time reviewing the work I did on the take-home before the presentation, and anywhere I felt my process had been rushed or strange or mistaken, I made a point to own it.
A final point. It's an interview cliche, but it actually applies here -- be yourself. This has not generally been the case for me in tech interviewers, but with Greenhouse every time I took a risk in being sincere or authentic, the interviewers respected me for it and met me there.

Talk about your approach to cross-functional work, and give examples from your career.

Interview
The interview process consisted of four rounds:
- Round 1: recruiter phone screen
- Round 2: hiring manager interview
- Round 3: take home SQL assessment
- Round 4: SQL assessment review, live coding in SQL, culture add interview, and collaboration interview
While the process was extensive, the purpose of each step was very clear. It also gave me a chance to talk to many people in the organization and get a real sense of what it would be like to work at Greenhouse.
