Skyscanner Data Scientist interview questions

First, an initial screener talk about cultural fit that was pleasant. Second, a technical challenge in hackerrank that had nothing to do with the position I was applying or with any real use case. This was quite disappointing, but I was invited to continue with the hiring process. Third, a one day interview in the headquarters. A lot of talks with HHRR and managers. Only a couple of talks with technical employees, and half of them were too junior. I asked several times about the future of the company and I never got a clear answer. Anyway, their culture is fantastic, but I was a bit disappointed with their selection process.

Unprofessional first phone call with a recruiter. First bad sign was that even though the call was scheduled 2 weeks in advance, in the hours leading up to the call she asked to reschedule and move the call earlier/later in the day numerous times. Even when I agreed, 30 minutes later another email came asking to change again, etc. She was clearly reading questions from a list and typing the responses. It felt like she's typing without understanding what she types (e.g. when I listed the technologies I use). We were discussing roles in three different European countries. The recruiter asked me for my salary expectations and I said it would depend on the office I would work. To me that makes perfect sense, but given her insistence on getting 1 number I feel like she doesn't share that same view. Weird! Skyscanner could be an amazing company to work for, but having someone unprofessional as a gatekeeper they will miss out on good talent.
