I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Purple Squirrel
Interview
Excel test, hour long interview with HR, six hour long independent assessment. It's a very long process, and I had to follow up. Somewhat disorganized. The interview with HR was good and the assessment was reasonable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview with HR asked general interview questions (tell me about yourself etc.; some specific experience - systematic review knowledge etc.). The assessment was a data extraction from a 200 page pharmaceutical review document and a comprehension test.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Purple Squirrel (San Francisco, CA) in May 2016
Interview
Purple Squirrel utilizes their own platform for the interview. First, I booked a session with the CEO and had a 30 minute phone call. During that time we talked about my previous experience and what I would like to do with my career. We then talked about Purple Squirrel's mission and how it could align with my aspirations. That was followed up by an invitation to come meet the team. After that, I received my offer.

Question 1
He asked me why I wanted to pivot in my career development.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Purple Squirrel
Interview
Standard phone screen with the questions about my background and a bit of talking about the position. The interviewer said I did well, so we arranged the next interview - a programming exercise. At the day of the interview nobody emailed/called. The interviewer doesn't respond on the messages on the website. Very poor experience with the company who claims to fix the hiring process.
Interesting. Purple Squirrel does not use recruiters so I'm afraid it would have been impossible for you to have applied via a recruiter. Maybe you applied to Purple Squirrel Eduventures or Purple Squirrel Services instead. Either way, we are sorry for your troubles and wish you the best in your job search!
