First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at CACIB.
Data Scientist

- How do you detect underfitting or overfitting?
- How can you extract text from an image?
Data Scientist Intern
they first started asking ML questions then : - academic projects related to AI questions in order to evaluate your skills - global programing questions to determine whether you're efficient or not - a Machine Learning assessment by the next interview
- Could you explain the mechanics of a random forest algorithm?
- Tell me about your academic projects in AI.
- How would you approach global programming challenges to ensure efficiency?
Data Scientist
2 interviews in total, 1st interview was a fit interview, 2nd interview was with the department head, my future manager, and a project lead.
