Question 1
describe a difficult situation you encountered with a customer
Phone interview followed by a data set analysis challenge. Very straight forward and easy. I wasn’t selected, and in the email the recruiter stated if I wanted any feedback to let her know. I reached out (I like learning what my weaknesses are, what they didn’t like, etc.) She never bothered to respond back. Poor look on the company.
