The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Dataminr (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
I interviewed with about 6 companies and dataminr was the absolute worst and rudest.
Started off with a call with HR who was late. Then she rushed me and seemed not to care at all about anything I was saying.
Then i moved on to first tech round. Off the bat, one of the interviewers was very cold and unwelcoming. Im not sure if I had done something to make her not like me, but I could tell she was hostile towards me.
I was then asked the problem. She botched explaining it. Almost as if she wasnt prepared. I asked clarifying questions and once i understood what she was trying to say, it was easy and I was able to solve it. Afterwards, again, she seemed very disinterested and rushed through the discussion part. Right after that call I had decided i did not want to work there. My experience with 2/3 people was awful and rude.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dataminr in Apr 2025
Interview
Recruiter seemed a bit rushed/reading from script, asked about some very specific things from work experience (not in resume, seemed like they were looking for key words for me to mention). At time of interview the company seemed to be in a hurry to hire. Interviewer was friendly and engaged in the interview - LeetCode/many edge cases type question.
Initial phone screening followed by 1 hour technical screening consisting of leetcode style problems. Next step is 3 rounds consisting of 2 more coding rounds and a behavioral round with the hiring manager. Overall pretty standard interview process but poor communication from the recruiter. After the final round I was completely ghosted, reached out to recruiter multiple times to get no response.
