BIP Data Scientist Interview Questions
& Process

Automated interview, no actual interviewer. Instead, a series of questions to answer either by writing or by recording yourself speaking. Not much time to think or respond, which made for a not-so-great interview experience for selecting qualified candidates.

I got contacted over a month after applying. The first call was with HR, who only asked if I was currently working and still interested. They proposed another interview without detailing its nature, salary range, or specifics like remote work options or location. Surprisingly, the next stage turned out to be a technical interview, leaving me unprepared. To be honest, it felt more like a university exam than an interview, with theoretical questions about linear regression and evaluation metrics, lacking any practical use cases or problem-solving aspects. I'm starting to wonder if my understanding of a Data Scientist's role and the expected skills is completely off, but I'm tired of these exams that seem to just need a final grade. The second part involved a live coding session in Python, writing a very basic function.

Eu tive uma boa experiência com o processo de entrevista. Acredito que meu currículo se encaixava bem com a proposta da vaga, o que facilitou as conversas nas entrevistas. Foram 3 no total: a primeira com o RH, a segunda com a equipe técnica da Bip, e a terceira com o cliente que eu atenderia em nome da Bip. Em todas as entrevistas, eles foram muito receptivos às minhas perguntas sobre a vaga, o funcionamento da consultoria e da empresa cliente.
