I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Coursera (New York, NY)
Interview
Saw the posting on LinkedIn, applied and was invited to participate a Hackerrank challenge in 2 days. Mine was harder, probably due to them looking for a more senior position. The online assessment is a mix of product senses, probability, statistics, SQL and Python coding questions. Time limit 100 mins. I knew I didn't knock it out of the park right after finishing the OA, but they're nice enough to send a formal rejection email in 3 days. Really efficient & organized process.
