Got contacted by a recruiter, who initially told me to consider Data Science Manager position. The first interview was with the Recruiter, who was going over my background, and, specifically leadership skills. Next day I've got an email that due to the headcount, they can not offer me this position this year, but can consider for a Data Scientist position. The interview process was supposed to be two virtual over the web (Analytical and Technical (SQL or Python or R - my choice)), followed by an on-site interview in Menlo Park (Statistical with a choice of R or Python as a tool)
