I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Revel
Interview
tl;dr
Stay AWAY - their job offer does NOT mean anything.
Interviewed through LinkedIn. (data scientist)
(Day 1) Recruiter called me next day (quick). And it sounded like they were trying to hurry the whole process, which I liked a lot. After a call with the recruiter, I was assigned for on-site interview. This is where it started to look weird. I told them that I can't schedule the following week and they hurried and scheduled a phone call in lieu of technical interview.
(day 10~14) I received a data science homework and it was super straightforward - the first part of the interview was to explain what I did on the homework challenge. The second part was behavioral with higher up manager. Some tricky questions, but manageable.
(day 14ish) I received a positive feedback and now they started to talk about the type of offer they have: permanent and project contingent offer. Read other posts what these mean. This is where I should have sever ties with them.
(day 21ish) I got a call from recruiter that they would extend me a contingent offer. Afterwards, I visited the office and even received the offer in written package and I even signed.
(day 30) waiting for the company to land a project so I can start working.
(day 60) waiting for the company to land a project so I can start working.
(day 90) Still waiting for the company to land a project so I can start working.
(day 100) got a call that there might be a project and told to be prepared for a full technical interview loop at a client's office. They told initially that some client requested that, but not all. Well I was selected by Revel for this project and they told me that I have to wait because client would need to decide whether to interview me or not. lol
(day 120) I haven't heard from the client nor from Revel how it went.
Every two or three week, I religiously email them to checkin to ask what the progress was, but their answer is always the same: "Managers are not in the office, I will find out and let you know next week" In the end I could almost guess what they would reply to my email. The problem is that they NEVER replied when they said they would. I kept checking in, but am tired.
I have no grudge with the people I interacted - they must be nice and smart in their own way. I've got a job offer from another company and moved on.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Revel (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2015
Interview
A screening call with HR, a screening call with a Manager and a round of interviews - behavioral and case study with senior Management. Very responsive. If they have a role in mind to start you on then the process will be fast. If they don't the process will be slow played.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I don't remember exact questions, but the problems they're in the business of solving are difficult digital transformation challenges. They want you to demonstrate a capability to be rigorous in your problem solutions, but not rigid in thinking. Practical in approach, but not without principles in delivering solutions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Revel (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2017
Interview
awesome!! The recruiter really spent time getting to know me and assessing not only my abilities but my persona fit with the firm. This helped me delineate between a "job" and a career. It challenged my thinking and gave me confidence on what I wan long term.
