I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Own Company in Apr 2023
Interview
Very quick process of 1 week. Interview with HR, hiring manager, head of team and finally 3 hour project. Ultimately, they sent me a templated rejection letter. Seemed like they either just wanted free work out of me or couldn't afford my salary requirements (which were reasonable given my skills and experience).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Wanted to know more about my experience with building data models and if I had worked with slowly-changing dimensions and normalization.
I had an interview with HR and decided not to move forward. I don’t think they’re actually hiring for the BDM/BDR role. They just keep posting the job over and over again. I suppose HR needs to justify a reason to be there. Doesn’t make sense. It’s either that or a lot of turnover. I’m noticing because I’m following them on LinkedIn. Just know if they reach out to you, it’s a high probability you’re wasting your time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Own Company (New York, NY) in Mar 2023
Interview
The interview process was pretty smooth, the first call with was the recruiter, he asked a bunch of questions about my past employments, my experience, and salary expectations. The second call with the Hiring Manager, we went through a system design question. It was about the system they currently building . They were not interested in how I would design the ETL rather only wanted to learn about how the candidate would design the Data Lake/Warehouse to serve for a very specific usecase. The interview pretty much sounded like the manager was soliciting ideas on how to implement the system. The hiring manager will be very closely involved in designing the product they are building, which seemed like this role would get heavily micro-managed.
