First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at MathCo.
Data Scientist
The interview process was smooth and interesting. It involved discussing selected ML projects, SQL, and DL questions. There were also coding questions. The domain was Pharma with US clients and US shifts. They offered good projects with good work pressure, leading to good performance and results, and a good hike. There were learning opportunities and it was work from office.
- Can you tell me about the projects you've worked on?
- What are your thoughts on ML and DL?
Data Scientist
The interview was good overall and involved technical questions related to Pandas. Pandas offers two primary data structures for data manipulation: Series and DataFrame. A Pandas Series is a one-dimensional labeled array that can hold any data type. Its axis labels are called indexes and can be created from lists, dictionaries, or scalar values. A Pandas DataFrame is a two-dimensional, size-mutable, tabular data structure with labeled axes (rows and columns). It can be created by loading data from sources like SQL databases, CSV files, or Excel files, or from lists and dictionaries. Pandas programs are best run in Jupyter Notebook for easier code execution and visualization.
- Can you explain how to swap columns in a NumPy array?
Data Scientist
I was contacted by the company's HR via LinkedIn. It was a 4 round interview process. Round 1 was a technical round based on your projects, basic statistic, machine learning etc. Round 2 was a coding round which has 4 Statistics basic MCQ questions, 4 SQL queries to write and 4 python code to write within 1 hour of time interval. Round 3 will be your behavioural round in which they ask you about case study and all. Round 4 will be HR round in which normal introduction, asks you how will you blend in the company, why our organisation, this round also includes case study.
- What is LSTM and can you explain Bert?
- How would you manage a difficult client?
- Tell me about yourself, how you'd fit into the company and why you're interested in this organization.
