I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Leasing in Oct 2024
Interview
I had a very disappointing experience during the interview. The interviewer did not introduce herself or the company, and I wasn’t given a chance to introduce myself either. The interview started abruptly with random questions about models and math problems without any context or structure. It felt very disorganized, and there was no clear flow to the conversation. Very unprofessional!
Scheduled an intro call with recruiter for data scientist position discussing the role and salary expectations. Will have a 1 on 1 case interview in a couple days and update then.
The interview: 30-minute case study with a Senior Data Scientist about Credit card profitability calculation, basic arithmetic. The math was straightforward, conversation was smooth, and the interviewer described additional interview rounds ahead.
But an automated Workday rejection arrived minutes after the interview ended. I suspected the interview was a formality to satisfy a PERM (green card) process for an existing employee, not a genuine hiring effort.
