Behavioral Technical Coding
I had a 1-hour interview with the manager and got positive feedback. Then, there was a 2-hour live coding interview online where I had to process a dataset and make predictions using machine learning. It was a train/test task. The dataset preprocessing took so long that I couldn't even finish 10% of the task, and they told me I didn't know how to code in Python, which was surprising given my 6 years in engineering and multiple Deep Learning projects. The task felt incoherent and irrelevant, especially for a consulting role where understanding AI is key, but coding isn't the main focus.
