The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Origami Risk (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2023
Interview
Asked to complete 2 pre-interview tests. Behavior and strategy based. Took about an hour each. Phone interview with recruiter, 2 zoom interviews, one with the head of the team (was there for about 12 years), and one with a data engineer (there for 7 years). Followed up with a few calls with another recruiter. Ultimately did not work out because they wanted an earlier start date that conflicted with prior plans. Fair compensation, but definitely on the lower end with a masters and experience. Nice to see the company has longstanding employees.

Question 1
Basic interview questions. STARE model. Challenge you had to overcome, how you handled it, what you learned, etc.
4 x 30 mins interviews and a reasoning test. Total time between first contact and offer was around 3 weeks.
Quite light-hearted conversations and not too intense.
Ended with an interview with the head of the department I was looking to join.
2 stages: HR screening and Hiring Manager stage. The recruiter is friendly and professional and it's an active chat except the result is nearly one month later after the Interview.

Question 1
How do you find the role? Share experience working with SQL, Python
An HR worker called me and asked me my educational background, and she asked me about how experience working with project groups. It was very straightforward and a relaxed conversation.
