Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Clearco.
Data Scientist
It was a 4 step process. First, a phone screen with HR that was pretty chill, just basic stuff like "why do you want to work here?". Then I interviewed with the Hiring Manager, who's the team lead. They were really nice and asked mostly about my past experience. The next part was a technical interview with two people from the data science team. These interviewers seemed really uninterested, like slouching and resting their cheeks on their hands. One of them even laughed at me when I was having trouble with a live coding SQL question. The questions themselves were tough but doable, but the interviewers made it the worst interview experience I've ever had.
- Can you tell me about your previous experience?
- Do you have experience with SQL window functions?
- Can you explain CASE statements in SQL?
Data Science Intern
The interview included some technical questions about Pandas and Numpy. There was also one simple algo question. The main focus was on cultural fit and personalities.
- What aspects of Pandas do you find appealing?
- Can you describe a basic algorithm question you were asked?
- Could you elaborate on how cultural fit and personality were assessed during the interview?
Data Scientist
The interview process was quite unclear; they seemed unsure of what they were looking for. Surprisingly, they had a co-op student conduct the interview. The interviewers themselves didn't appear to have a strong grasp of machine learning or data theories.
- Can you discuss some machine learning algorithms?
- What are the specifics of coding related to these algorithms?
