Interview
Step 1: Technical recruiter outreached on LinkedIn, which led to a 30 mins call.
Step 2: I was supposed to have a call scheduled with the recruiting manager - Senior Director of Decision Science. However, since he was not available at the time, I had a call scheduled with his manager, VP of Business Operations and Analytics, within one week.
