Interview
I applied online on March 2019.
I received a reply a couple of hours after submitting my application explaining the details of the process. There are three steps: 1. take-home assignment, 2. Phone screening, 3. onsite 1-day interview.
We agreed when I wanted to receive the take-home for which I was supposed to work approx. 4 hours and I had to hand back within 48h. The assignment is the same that other people have already mentioned here. You need to predict which users will be more likely to make a purchase. They evaluate your job by checking if the list of users you provide matches the one of those who made a purchase. I think they also look at the codes, but primarily they look at the accuracy.
One week after sending back my assignment I got an email to proceed to the video call screening (45-60min) with a lead data scientist. During the interview I mainly explained what I did and how. I also talked about previous projects I worked on. Everything seemed very smooth.
They finally decided not to invite me for the onsite with a no-reply email. I contacted them for a feedback and they told me that the main reason was my VISA status (I needed a sponsor since I have a H-4).

Question 1
Tell me about previous projects you have worked on.
I'm based in Singapore and was supposed to have my first round interview with some HR in India. Yet he never replied to any question/email I sent at all, nor to the available timeslot proposed.
Totally unprofessional.

Interview
Recruiter reached out for an exploratory call twice but never called. Would have been nice to at least know if the position was filled. I don’t appreciate setting time aside during a busy work day only to be ghosted twice.
