Recruiter was professional and friendly. However, they wasted so much of my time. At first they told me I failed the live coding test and they wouldn't be moving forward. The next day, the recruiter called me and said that after all, they did want to move forward as everyone agreed they loved my positive attitude and how I handled the situation. If I remember correctly, I went through 5 rounds - the last one was a virtual onsite with back to back interviews a large part of the day. After I went through all those interviews, they ended up saying that they went with another candidate who did better on the live coding test, but that it was a difficult decision.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you worked with messy data and how did you handle that.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo in May 2022
Interview
I applied online. HR contacted me. The first round was a 30-min interview, it was fairly easy. The hiring manager asked about my past experience. Then I was scheduled for the next round of panel interview with four people from different departments - marketing analytics, engineering, etc. They asked questions about the projects that I worked on, and how to find duplicate values in a data set. One of the interviewers was extremely rude. He was upset since he joined the call and he hung up when I was in the middle of saying thank you at the end. I didn't hear back in two weeks and followed up. The HR scheduled a final round of interview with the Marketing Manager. She asked repetitive questions about how to track conversions. A week later I didn't hear back and followed up, the HR called me and told me they extended the offer to another candidate.
