First round two SQL style question with product sense, then 2 days later I was told I was moved to onsite and scheduled 4 rounds after 1 month. 1 SQL, 1 case, 1 math and 1 behavior. Math interviewer was rude, and everyone else looks tired. Rejected
Good experience with phone screen, HR is nice and friendly, but they know what kind of people they are looking for, they also ask questions based on their decision on your knowledge and skills.

Interview
Fairly standard Data Scientist interview process. Consisted of an HR screen, then an interview day with 4 different current data scientists. Each round was a slightly different focus (SQL/coding, problem solving, behavioral, etc). Data Scientists I interviewed with were of varying levels of seniority.
They did not expect me to do a take-home coding interview which is increasingly rare and extremely respectful of my time so for this reason I give them an overall positive experience.
