The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at R4 Cloud Technologies (Ridgefield, CT)
Interview
The process took 2 months. They take their own sweet time with the process but expect you to do your part asap. They may blame you for their flaws as well. A company to BEWARE of. Very toxic culture where everyone provides you reasons as to why you ahould not join and they do not provide any information about the company either or what they do technically.

Question 1
what would make you leave a company in the first week?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at R4 Cloud Technologies in Sep 2018
Interview
CANDIDATE BEWARE: Recruiter reached out and did a short phone screen, completed a homework that was terribly designed so interpreted it as I saw and delivered (used python, they were seemed to lean SQL, it wasn’t an issue), scheduled 45 minute phone interview with director of data science, interview went for 1.5 hours, interviewer was antagonistic the entire time (figured he was trying to get a rise out of me), politely and assertively expressed my positions. In hindsight, I believe I should have ended the interview mid-call. This company was by far the worst experience I have had interviewing and I have advised others to steer clear. For reference, I have interviewed with Bridgewater, Amazon, etc and none of them had an even remotely caustic environment - it pays to know what you’re talking about but that won’t help you here. Expect meaningless logic questions and some bizarre, and probably illegal, behavioral questions. A director who has an excess 45 minutes to berate a candidate is a strong signal of what to expect of the department. If you are an expert in your field, expect them to disagree with every thing you have experienced - tactic or truthfully ignorant, I can’t rate this company low enough.
