3 rounds a Q and A, an interview, and a presentation task
All as a group over zoom apart from the individual interview - I really enjoyed the day and found the interview not particularly challenging just some situational questions and competency questions
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Whisper (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2017
Interview
3 step interview. Started with a basic screening, asked about experience and engineering background. Then specialized questions and a coding example using some online toool (cant remember which one). The last one was more HR focused. Pretty straightforward process and very transparent.

Question 1
Multiple string manipulation examples and problems.
I chatted with an interviewer on the phone for 30 minutes. This was followed by a technical phone interview with the head of data science. He was totally unprepared and calling while driving. His questions were ill formed.
