I had three phone interviews, one with a recruiter, one with a Finance DE, and one with another DE manager. I then was invited to come to NYC and have a half-day interviewing session. During that period I met with the VP of Ops, VP of Breaking News, my Finance DE Manager, and another Finance DE.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dataminr (London, England) in Jan 2017

They also wanted to know to what extent I knew the right people to follow or the right things to look for on Twitter for certain topics
