I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Trupanion
Interview
First I received an assessment. I was given the option to finish it in a few hours or a few days. I was asked to submit my code. After that, I received an HR screening and then a technical phone call. However, it was clear that the interviewer on the phone never read the solution I was required to submit, and when I asked for comments or questions, she had none. I asked for feedback afterward, agian none was provided. It shows the team is unprofessional and does not respect the applicants' time. They ask you to complete an assessment that took a few hours/days and never read your solution or provide any feedback. The whole interview process was also very dragging, there were 1-2 weeks between each step.
Thanks for sharing your experience interviewing! We also appreciate that you took the time to complete our assessment as part of your application. Our recruiters will not be able to comment on the assessment during the interview process, but if your feedback is for the technical phone call, I will definitely bring this to the Data Science hiring managers. If you have any further insight you would like to share, you can email us directly at Recruiting@Trupanion.

Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Trupanion (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2020
Interview
I first did the data science assessment, which ended up being a very fun prediction task using Trupanion data. From there, I had a phone call with a recruiter, and then a phone call with the director of the data science department. I did not advance from there, but if I had, the final interview would have been with the team in-person (this was right before COVID hit).

Question 1
I forget the technical questions, but they definitely asked basic "why do you want to work here" questions
