      Data Scientist/User Researcher Interview

      Mar 13, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2015

      Interview

      The interview process started with a test assignment (fun and interesting questions). I was given a week to complete this assignment, and heard back within a few days of submitting. I then had a video call with the relevant team manager. This was a relatively brief, informal and friendly chat but still very informative for me. Video call was followed by an on-site interview (~6 hours) composed of multiple individual meetings. The interviewers were pleasant and very informative and the process was overall a good but exhausting experience. Follow-up on the on-site interview was somewhat slower than expected.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Was pleasantly surprised to be asked a number of questions about ethical concerns in user research.
