I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Northspyre
Interview
Disjointed, Time-Consuming, Inconsiderate, and Frustrating.
Took over 2 months to conduct 3 interviews. Spent many hours preparing a case study memo to answer a prompt completely unrelated to real estate development and Northspyre's product. Received basically no feedback from recruiter who often ghosted and did not respond to a series of follow up emails. Interview process felt very unorganized and unprofessional. Interviewers were unprepared, unengaged, and disingenuous. They'll string you along for months during their fragmented interview process. I wouldn't waste your time or energy interviewing here regardless of how promising the company seems from the outside looking in.
Recruiter seemed excited but then ghosted. Several rounds of interviews, as expected. The interviews were average difficulty , expect to prepare heavily with data related questions. It was nothing out of the ordinary but make sure you are ready to go through several rounds.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northspyre (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
1st round with product manager, second round with CTO, final round with 2 panels (I presented a 10-min project to one panel, and talked about cultural fit with another) and a 1-to-1 with CEO/head of product. Had awesome conversations during each round, focusing half on technical skills and half on behavioral. It was a super fast process (~2 weeks between applying and offer), I felt like I was able to showcase my skills well while also asking all the questions I had about the company. Great interview experience overall
