I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
I was referred by an analyst, and after an informal coffee discussion and a phone screen I was invited for an onsite interview with behavioral, whiteboard, and coding questions.
The interview process was extremely friendly and transparent; the hiring manager explained, explicitly, that Nordstrom likes to "interview [people] in" rather than screen out, and gave some suggestions for what I might be asked about onsite so that I might better-prepare. I think this is a good strategy for revealing peoples' actual competence in relevant technical capacities.
I developed a very favorable impression of their analytics suborganization (the Center of Excellence). Everyone seemed cheerful, capable, and enthusiastic about their work.
Nordstrom returned a competitive offer quickly, and I declined only because another firm made a dramatically-higher offer for a similarly-exciting position (in another job category: the offers were apples-to-oranges).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should we hire you?
[Superficially this seems confrontational, but it's really more of a softball opportunity to sell yourself; and also frankly it's a good and fair question for a candidate.]
First round was recruiter screening, where they asked about A/B testing, ML and Gen AI experience. Role heavily focused on Gen AI , especially recommendation and personalization. Unfortunately, I didn't go past it.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom in Oct 2023
Interview
Hirevue with 3 video questions and 1 written questions and 5 multiple choices. you have to first record the 3 video questions basically bq, and then one coding questions and you need to explain your answer
I got an interview from the career fair of our school. The whole interview process includes one online assessment with SQL coding challenge and one behavioral interview. Didn't pass the online assessment.
